<p>Same here, got the email this morning after they had trouble with AIM and AOL. Just waiting on Tech now!</p>
<p>D got in last night after being deferred during EA. We’re also waiting to hear from Tech, but as a JMU alumnus myself I’m one proud and relieved parent 
She didn’t get her email until after 11:30pm last night (Gmail account), and she was the last of her friends to receive a decision.</p>
<p>Our DD was also the last to hear out of her group of friends, that is why I was getting nervous when I saw the bit about how many applied and saw some high stats that were rejected. </p>
<p>I think they had so many applicants this yr because of the economy. That is a very high number for a small school. I wonder how many applied to Tech this yr.</p>
<p>JMU has always been her 1st back up, so at least we feel like we can take a deep breath even if she doesn’t get into Tech, she will be happy there since the campuses are very similar unlike GMU or VCU.</p>
<p>We have Verizon/yahoo email. I’ve checked Spam box, I’ve checked my work email, and nothing. Is it possible that there are still those of us who’ve heard nothing?! I got the generic “decisions coming soon” email last week at home and work, so know they have our correct emails. Just get it over with already.</p>
<p>still havent heard either and i have a comcast email account, it sounds like they will just continually be sent out today.</p>
<p>I wonder if decisions are coming down based on the applicants email provider.</p>
<p>ya maybe and maybe is it based off if your in state or out of state, im out of state so that might be why.</p>
<p>My son received his e-mail around midnight – he was accepted!</p>
<p>He actually had two e-mails – one with all the graphics and one with text-only that cited the problems with AIM and AOL – so it sounds like there had to be a re-send. I’d suggest that if you hear nothing by 9 AM, call or e-mail the admissions office – there’s always the possibility that they have a bad e-mail address.</p>
<p>The acceptance posting said that 22,400 students applied for 3960 places in the freshman class. I’m assuming that’s a record number of applicants, so the acceptance rate is going to be much lower this year than the 65% cited on College Board’s site.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who’s still waiting – sounds like the wait time has no bearing on the decision itself.</p>
<p>I agree it will be much lower, probably in the 45% marker. UMDCP has the same class size and I believe they accept about 10K for a 4K class size.</p>
<p>For those on the waitlist, don’t give up hope. Especially for instate, many persons apply to JMU as a safety with hopes of UVA or WM. If you did not get accepted, chances are, you’ll do well wherever you decide to attend.</p>
<p>As i posted on another thread, my daughter got her acceptance last night on her e mail account. For those waitlisted, don’t give up hope. JMU is a safety school for us and unless they come up with a substantial financial aid package, it is not likely she will go there. Best of luck to all!</p>
<p>I would warn – don’t give up hope, but don’t count on it, either.</p>
<p>I don’t know JMU’s numbers, but UVa offered wait list spots to 4000 applicants last year; about half accepted, so there were about 2000 on the list. UVa has admitted between 40 and 160 applicants over the past six years from the wait list; so at best, a UVa wait list candidate has an 8% chance of admittance. I don’t know what JMU’s numbers are, but I doubt it adds up to 50-50.</p>
<p>If I really wanted to go to JMU, I’d accept the wait list spot and cross my fingers; an 8% chance is much better than no chance at all. But I’d also put down a deposit at my next choice.</p>
<p>No decision yet here in Northern Virginia for my D (who has a yahoo account).</p>
<p>I think I’d feel better seeing who else has had NOO email at all. This is agony. Keep us posted. We are in VA (outside Richmond) with a Verizon/yahoo email account.</p>
<p>No emails yet…</p>
<p>But in either case, here is an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal that may make you feel better:
[When</a> Success Follows the College Rejection Letter - WSJ.com](<a href=“When Success Follows the College Rejection Letter - WSJ”>When Success Follows the College Rejection Letter - WSJ)</p>
<p>I got a letter
ACCEPTED!!! by the grace of god</p>
<p>I haven’t heard back from JMU yet either.
And I’m in-state as well.</p>
<p>Still nothing! I just called JMU admissions and asked if all the emails were sent out. The man I spoke to said everything was sent so I should have received an email by now. Because I never received my pin number, there isnt any way I can check my status! I also have a verizon/yahoo account, although I doubt they sent me the email. Ive never had a problem with my email before… Anyways, he said that packets were sent out and should be received soon</p>
<p>I’m wondering if Verizon/Yahoo flagged these emails as some sort of mass spam attack and blocked them entirely.</p>
<p>Post #78 in this thread looks like it was to a Yahoo account</p>
