<p>When are notifications sent out?</p>
<p>They say not until mid-January.</p>
<p>[James</a> Madison University - Dates and Deadlines](<a href=“http://www.jmu.edu/admissions/apply/dates-and-deadlines.shtml]James”>Admissions Dates and Deadlines - JMU)</p>
<p>My daughter heard last year at around the end of the first week in January. (She is currently a student). That seems to be the treand each year, although it can vary.</p>
<p>For those impatiently waiting - here is how it happened last year.</p>
<p>She had a friend who also applied. Friend updated a FB status saying she got a call from JMU and was accepted. DD was distraught because she had gotten no call and no email update. Then we happened to check caller ID and saw a “JMU” number on the ID. No message left. This gave her hope. After all, would they call to say no we do not want you?</p>
<p>Next day, she got an email, and the web was updated shortly thereafter. So keep an eye out on your caller ID, and your email.</p>
<p>Do the honors college acceptances come with the EA decisions, or later?</p>
<p>Do you know how you are supposed to check an acceptance online? Whenever I go to the MyMadison thing it always says complete next to my application?</p>
<p>Letters went out today. My DD got defered and she is a mess. I really think she will get in during RD, but she so wanted to get in EA. My heart aches for her.</p>
<p>Catie - there is no true-er statement than “A mother is only as happy as her saddest child”. I feel for you. I know that the wait can be killing and a deferral just makes it worse. If it is any condolence, she has a good chance at regular decision. They do make it clear that a large number of EA are deferrals, unlike at other schools.</p>
<p>deferred with a 2020 SAT and a 4.0 GPA. what is life</p>
<p>You’re bound to get in regular decision with a 2020 SAT and 4.0 GPA. Don’t stress.</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! GL to everyone!</p>
<p>Catie, I am so sorry. The comment from Momofa12 is so true. We are all so invested in their happiness. RD is coming!
Allovertheplace, I’m so sorry. My D said a lot of kids are being deferred who are surprises. The guidance dept seems to think they will all be fine. I think JMU has a pretty high rate of deferred EA kids getting admission in March though.</p>
