<p>I just received my acceptance today. In-state.</p>
<p>Congratulations, pjramos61! We live near Roanoke, Virginia and haven’t gotten anything. Not sure if they’re doing rejection or deferral letters. Really getting antsy. Seems like my son should have received something by now:/ Waiting is so hard! It looks like a great program. So happy that some of you have made it:)</p>
<p>Here are my basic stats: </p>
<p>In-state
4.0 UW GPA, 4.35 W
Attend a magnet school for math, science, and technology
31 ACT
2010 SAT I
A few EC’s, nothing spectacular
Wrote my essay about my mathematical research. I thought it was pretty good.</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing your stats, Fermat25 and huge congrats again! I emailed to find out if they were going to send letters to everyone (accepted, rejected or deferred) and was told yes. All EA applicants have been sent a letter. Letters were mailed on February 9th. So weird that my son hasn’t received his yet. We usually get mail from the JMU area within a day or two. I guess we’ll keep watching the mail!:></p>
<p>My daughter got her acceptance to the honors program yesterday - we are in UPNY.</p>
<p>Got my acceptance letter today. I live in PA.</p>
<p>I got in!

<p>Congratulations, everyone! We <em>still</em> haven’t received my son’s decision. Must be post office gremlins at work:)</p>

<p>I’m not sure about Merit Scholarships. My son is interviewing for the Dingledine Scholarship this Sunday. He received that invitation based on special application several wks ago. I do know if he isn’t one of the five students chosen for Dingledine he automatically gets a Madison Achievement Scholarship. If you’re a math or a sciences student, make sure you fill out the Second Century Scholars application on the College of Arts and Sciences website. It’s quick and easy and it’s 75 percent of tuition a year!</p>
<p>Good luck:)</p>
<p>p.s. I feel almost certain that it would be just fine to call your admissions counselor and ask. They’re eager to help…after all, their job is to get you to choose JMU;D</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! I’ll definitely call in and apply for the scholarship</p>
<p>applied early action, got in, still nothing regarding Honors. Anyone else in our shoes?</p>
<p>If you applied to Honors via EA, I really think you should have received something by now. Did you ever receive a confirmation that Honors had received your application materials? Call or e-mail. They won’t notify by phone, but maybe they’ll resend your letter. My son finally found out when they mailed a letter saying that all Dingledine finalists were automatically accepted to Honors. Good luck!</p>
