Hi. My daughters top two choices are JMU and UDel. Got no money at JMU or else she’d have committed by now. So upset for her. She’s really having a hard time deciding on larger lians vs smaller loans. Also UVM and URI are in the running. Sooooo stressful!

Is JMU instate for you?
UD gave us $15k, which is about the same as JMU’s OOS tuition.
There was a JMU Board of Visitors meeting on Feb 18th and it was reported that the number of first year applications skyrocketed by 44% (31,633); 18,590 of which applied EA (a 41% increase.) It will be interesting to see how this changes the overall acceptance rate. Congratulations to those who were accepted into JMU and to those accepted into the Honors college - competition was definitely at an all-time high! Best of luck to those who were deferred and really want JMU to be their home!

Any thoughts on when RD decisions will be out? I have 3/10 on my calendar, but I can’t trace back to where I found that info. So many decisions coming in these next few months 
I’m guessing the decisions will come out on 3/11. JMU’s spring break starts the next day. If not, it won’t be until after spring break, when the school reopens. Of course, with the increased number of applicants, it might take longer too.

Is it bad luck if I book totally refundable hotel rooms before my kid has been accepted???

That’s called good planning. They might not be there to book after the decision.

Thanks for the vote of confidence @GKUnion!
I am a planner by nature, so this whole drawn out admissions process is killing me

is anyones here/their kid applying to the study abroad for incoming freshmen ?
Does anyone know if all merit scholarships were released yet, or has anyone received one yet (potentially with a psychology major)?
@alexa.d, from what I’ve heard JMU does not give a lot of merit aid. Maybe someone else can correct me on this, but we are planning to pay full price 
I do think that JMU keeps their tuition price reasonable. My son is deciding between UVM and JMU. Even with the merit he received at UVM, JMU without merit will cost less.

@SkiMom2022 agreed. JMU’s price is equal to or less than many of the other schools where my daughter has received merit.

JMU social media is quiet again. Thinking RD is going to be on Thursday. Please send out positive vibes to my girl. She was deferred in EA and JMU is her #1.
