I’m currently on the waitlist for the University of Delaware and won’t get news of whether I’m accepted off the waitlist or not until the end of May. I was accepted at James Madison University and I already put down my deposit. Pretty much every senior at my school knows what college they’re going to in the fall and are finding their roommates and picking the dorms they want to live in. I just want to know what college I’m going to already instead of having to wait till the end of May. If I do get accepted off the waitlist for Udel I still wouldn’t know which college to choose. Udel is and hour and 15 minutes away from home and Jmu is 4 and a half hours away. I feel like moving away would be good for me since I’m shy and depend on my parents a lot. However I know that I’m going to miss my family a lot if I go to Jmu. I don’t know what to do. I thought I would have known what college I was going to by now. Help?
Why don’t you worry about this when and if you are admitted at UDel?
I am a graduate of UD and my daughter went to JMU. I can tell you that they are both fine schools. However, I think you should focus on the positives of JMU and get in the mindset that you are going there. My daughter had a wonderful four years at JMU- she made great friends, studied abroad, had an internship, and received an amazing education. She now has a great job that she loves.
Also, I am assuming that both schools are out of state for you? JMU oos tuition is much cheaper than UD. I think that is an important consideration.
Best of luck wherever you end up!
