Early Action Decisions Date

oh yeah because the first was a holiday ughh
lord well what if I have another one that needs to be sent in by the 15th?

This is killing me

maybe they will go out Monday to make up for the extra day?

I just called and was rudely told they are going out mid-January and no one knows the date yet. Have to say every time I call there they act like I am bothering and annoying them. Other admissions offices I have spoken to bend over backwards to help and make you feel welcome. JMU has been cold and about as unwelcoming as you can get. Hope it does not speak for the rest of the university.

With my sibs the colleges always released on a Friday evening supposedly because it jams the system up when everyone jumps on but personally I think it is so admissions doesn’t have to deal with the disappointed before a weekend cooling off period.

I don’t know why JMU is far behind the competition. GMU sent out their acceptance letters 2 weeks ago.

So I guess this means we’re gonna get the decisions on this Friday? Ugh!

@nanddsmom, I have a daughter who is a senior at JMU now and another one waiting anxiously for the EA decisions to come out now. I wanted to let you know that every staff member I’ve ever spoken with at JMU has been incredibly professional, helpful and friendly. Don’t let the phone call you had last week turn you off JMU - she’s either a bad apple or was having a bad afternoon. My younger daughter who has applied this year emailed her admissions contact last week and was told they are on track for the middle of the month, so we should know by the end of this week. It’s no easier my second time around as mom in waiting!

@Hornet82 From what I can tell there is no pattern to JMU’s release of EA decisions. I went through this with an older child 3 years ago and they released mid-day on a Wednesday that year. Whenever it happens this week, it’s just a matter of days now. Good luck to you!

Good luck to all here who are anxiously awaiting EA decisions!

anybody heard? ty DJ

Thanks klmiv1 but unfortunately it has been each time I called there (and not because I am that annoying parent - generally I have not even identified myself or my son but really asked general questions). Even some email exchanges with my S’s counselor I got the same feeling. My D is a freshman at BC and so went through this last year with her and with the multiple schools my son has applied to so have dealt with (way too) many admissions offices over the past 2 years and I never got this sense from anywhere else. Not that they were not professional - just cold and unwelcoming.

Any way my son loves the school so in the end its his choice not mine LOL. Good luck to all and hopefully they post soon.

Does anyone know if JMU will send an email when decisions are out?

yes they should send the decisions out by email

its on my madison

Acceptances are posted on my Madison now? Or that is where they will be once results are released?

I think they mean it will be posted on mymadison because right now they aren’t up :frowning:

actually they don’t send by email you have to check my Madison and you are right sweet they aren’t up.

Will they email us when the decisions are posted or are they just gonna appear?

@justjacob58 From what I remember 3 years ago, they did email but it was later than the posting on myMadison. Not sure if anything has changed since then, though.
