JMU Early Action Thread

<p>Hello everyone! In just a few weeks JMU will be telling EA applicants of their admission decisions! I'm so excited yet so nervous at the same time! Who else is waiting anxiously with me? When do you think we'll hear back?</p>

<p>I am also waiting! I’m thinking January 9th will be notification day. </p>

<p>@ninadasiy‌ I’m so anxious! I’ve been trying to distract myself so that I’m not thinking about it 24/7. At the same time, I think it would be pretty cool if JMU EA applicants started posting on this thread so we can talk all the way up to notification day!</p>

<p>I’m waiting too! I’m so nervous and scared. I’m think the notification day will be somewhere in between the 9th and 15th of January. I just want to know already </p>

<p>Are you guys instate? I’m from Fairfax County. </p>

<p>I’m out-of-state. I originally heard of JMU from a few students from my school who decided to go there. I visited the campus during the October open house and fell in love. The beautiful campus, brand new Biosciences buildings, and above all, the friendly atmosphere, have made JMU my top school.</p>

<p>It appears that during the last 3 years, EA Decisions were posted: January 11, 2012 (2nd Wednesday); January 11, 2013 (2nd Friday); January 9, 2014 (2nd Friday) - I’m hoping this year it will be January 9, 2015 (2nd Friday). We can’t wait - older brother attends JMU and loves it !!!</p>

<p>Is anybody else getting an error message when you try and get on the portal to check your application status?</p>

<p>I checked just after I read this and it was working fine. Just tried it a few minutes ago and recieved an error message. I exited the site and browser completely and when I tried to log in after this I was able to get through to my portal.</p>

I’m out-of-state as well! JMU has been my number one since I visited last march. I’ve visited twice since then and each time I find something new to fall in love with.

@vmhansen97‌ I feel the same way. It’s such a beautiful campus with such a friendly atmosphere. One time I was lost and wasn’t exactly sure where I was, a senior came over and walked me and my parents to where we needed to go, telling us about how much she loved JMU along the way. Also, the fact that people hold doors, says a lot about the people who go to this amazing university.

If the dates provided on this thread are correct, we should be hearing back in one week! Fingers crossed!

The campus really is beautiful but I’m so nervous about getting in!

I’m honestly starting to get so nervous because I feel like I’m going to get deferred. Ughhh, I don’t want to wait any longer!!

Ah I’m waiting to hear!! I live instate :slight_smile:

Hoping to hear by the end of this week…maybe???

I’m hoping that decisions come out Friday. I wish they would give us an actual date rather than an approximation.

I’m hoping to hear back soon as well. I have done my fair share of twitter stalking (I search “accepted jmu” to see when the earliest students heard back last year was), and if things go similarly this year, we should hear by Friday! I I’m an out-of-stater and feel like I’m going to be deferred. Ah… Best of luck everyone! :slight_smile:

Is anyone able to get into their JMU accounts? My understanding & I could be wrong, is that they announce them online and when I try to log in, I keep getting this message: Sorry, the website ssop.jmu.edu cannot be found

Oh my gosh! I really hope we hear Friday.

I saw a note on twitter from JMU that said all passwords have to be changed by today. Not sure if its only for enrolled students/staff. It might not apply to applicants. Just FYI…
