I’m so nervous, what do you guys think my chances for RD are? I’m so depressed this is my top choice school!!

Still haven’t heard back…getting nervous

@Nyand53‌ Did you check your status online via their application system? We didn’t hear anything but I saw a post from a neighbor’s friend saying her daughter had gotten in. I went into the JMU system & found that in small print my son’s status had changed from Completed to Admitted. There is a link to print out the acceptance letter.

@bksfan yes Ive been checking all day… Still nothing!

Accepted! Out-of-state, 4.0 GPA, 3 AP’s, ranked 24/314, decent SATs, NHS, NTHS, Key Club, HOSA Competitor (Placed 6th in 2013 and 2nd in 2014 for Dental Science at the national level), and I’m a State HOSA Officer this year. I wrote the optional essay on breaking my average reputation and reaching for my dream of becoming a dentist (through HOSA and my competition). I also got a really nice recommendation from my AP Lang. teacher.

@Nyand53‌ Fingers & toes crossed for you!

How exactly do you find the letter on your admission’s decision?

dipper1234… Here’s how… Log into to my Madison, get to the Applicant center. Then click on View and Print Decision, then click on View Communication and the letter will pop up.

So they don’t mail a acceptance letter, correct?

What happens if you are deferred? (I was deferred) So do I find out if i’m rejected or accepted with the regular decision applicants? When do those come out if thats the case?
