Honors college is great just for the early registration perk. Also, the honors dorm is one of the newest buildings.

DD got accepted yesterday and got into honors today. It does look like a nice perk.

I did look up the dorm Shenandoah hall. While it is the newest it looks to be set up with hall style bathrooms. That is what I had at VT and in retrospect it added to the college experience. I was surprised the newer building wasn't suite style but I know very little about trends in college dorms, specifically at JMU.

I’m nearly certain that Honors students only live in Shenandoah if they apply for the Honors Residential Learning Community. https://www.jmu.edu/orl/rlc/index.shtml . Last year parents of Honors students posted that they had been under the impression that freshmen Honors students got to select their dorms first, only to learn that this only applied to Honors students who had signed up to live in the RLC. Otherwise they pick their dorm based on when they submitted their deposit. Either way, Honors students need to submit the RLC form in the spring if they want to live in Shenandoah. Otherwise they can live in any freshman dorm based on what is available. Some of the dorms have suite style bathrooms while others have hall style.

And congratulations to your daughter!

My kid got deferred with a 3.8 and no scores, varsity athlete and club president. Legacy too.

For the last 26 years I have sent them $150 on the anniversary of my graduation.

That ends now.

Of course they do. What a silly question. Two of my DD's friends were outright rejected last year. And these were kids with good grades, leadership, etc.

I think the key word(s) in the pp's question was EA. Not just rejected in general.

Doesn’t deferred mean they can still get in? If this were an outright rejection I’d be pissed too.

I just let the President of JMU know...there is panic about losing out on that $150.

PP, be kind. This poster is upset that their kid got deferred - I would be, too. There is no reason to come onto this thread and be a jerk.

Did you think that donating would guarantee your kids admission? I’m confused. What was your reasoning for the donation?

I wonder this as well. I give to my Alma mater because I had a great experience there. My DD didn’t even apply.

There is no way the $150 post is serious.

And maybe you could learn how to spell their? Or YOU could show some “class” by not insulting a stranger (who is hurting) on the internet? OP as well as everyone (but you) realizes $150 a year wasn’t going to get her kid into a school, nor is it a brag. She was just venting. But it’s cute that you thought she was bragging.
