Congrats to your DC!  JMU is such a great school.  Out of curiosity, since JMU is a big school with lot of strong student support for its D1/FBS teams, why did they also apply to W&M and Dickinson which are very distinct from that?  I mean, given her stats, she was a lock for JMU and W&M/Dickinson certainly weren't safeties.  [/quote]

Huh?[/quote]

JMU was the top choice of the PP's DC and it (JMU) is a school of 20,000 undergrads with an FBS football team with huge tailgate parties, etc.  W&M and Dickinson are very different from JMU and are harder to get into.  So why apply to W&M or Dickinson when you know you really want to go to JMU and easily have the stats for acceptance there?  [/quote]

Casting a wide net, I suppose. For example, my kid did a complete 180 after her acceptances. We visited all the schools again and that time around. It was different. Besides, there’s something for everyone at JMU. Some kids care about the football team and some don’t. But I don’t think that was the intent of your question. [/quote]
