[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC was deferred.  Has anyone else's child received a decision?[/quote]

Also deferred. DD has 2040 and 3.72 GPA. Not many extracurriculars. She is looking at St Mary's, Delaware, Dickinson, JMU, Villanova and her reach is W&M....not looking good though. St Mary's, Delaware, Dickinson and JMU were her "safeties"....[/quote]

If she didn't get into JMU, she's not getting into W&M.[/quote]

She could still get into JMU in the RD round. EA is not for anyone with less than a 4.0 and impressive extra-curriculars IMHO.

And college admissions is such an unpredictable crap shoot, you can't even predict what will happen with WM based on what JMU did. WM has a very different applicant pool and different people/personalities in admissions.

PP, did daughter apply at other schools EA?[/quote]

Care to elaborate on the differences, pp?

Differences= there is not one formula all colleges must follow.

JMU has their ways of doing things, and so does WM.

They have completely different people looking at completely different sets of applications.

I'm not suggesting that one way is better. They're just different.

Thank you, PP, for putting this all into perspective.  You are absolutely right that different schools have different things they're looking for, not to mention an entirely different admissions team.  Nothing is for certain in the crazy college admissions game.[/quote]
