Same for D - even though admitted to the Honors College. Unexpected.

Same for my daughter as well with a Honors College admit - she received nothing. JMU is $10k-$20k more expensive per year compared to her other options where she was accepted (we are OOS). I am an alum so was really hoping JMU would work out, but happy that she has more affordable options.

My son admitted to Honors as well and will be $50k more over 4 years than his other top choice school. (USC). makes it an easy decision. (OOS also)
Well, at least weāre in good company! LOL I really liked JMU, too. I was bummed. But she loved Miami and itās a good bit cheaper. Just waiting on UConn and Syracuse, but Iām guessing it will come down to Miami (Ohio) and UConn.

Ok we live in Virginia.
JMU was historically a regional teachersā college and we all know how much teachers get paid, so they donāt have a legacy of donors with deep pockets. Itās only been a semi-prestigious university for a few decades. If youāre a state school, donations and endowments are the only way you can have enough money to give out tons of aid. Many other schools are more generous because of a hundred years or more of rich alumni.
Havenāt checked in here for some time but for those wondering about RDā¦not sure on portal aspect but my daughter is currently a junior at Madison. She did not apply EA just RD and earlier in the thread had looked up her date for student deferred and she found out March 15 mid to late afternoon like usual

Just donāt forget that a lot of people will opt out of JMU. Opening more spots 
On the undergraduate admissions page, JMU announced they are still accepting applications for Fall 2021. Did they not receive enough applications by the due date? Will this further delay RD notifications?
no i donāt think it will delay decision dates, they probably didnāt get enough rd applications and are trying to get some last ones in
Check your portals. My D was accepted today. No email.
