[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 90s people called it “Just Missed Uva” lots of people from my high school in Fairfax county went there. Lots of people from NJ too.[/quote]

Why has it declined so much.[/quote]

It hasn't. Its still the choice along with VT for in state kids who Just Missed UVA. Where else? [/quote]

No one who has the grades for UVA is applying to nearly 80% acceptance rate JMU. At that point they might as well go to Radford.[/quote]

JMU is the in-state safety for many, many kids who are applying to UVA. W&M isn't a fit for everyone (saying with affection as an alum) and Tech sometimes seems like it's a random toss-up for who gets in and who doesn't. If they don't get in to UVA, they might decide to go out of state instead but JMU is still a popular backup plan for kids who need to keep the COA down. [/quote]

I wouldn’t even call JMU a safety for some, know several kids from different FCPS schools who did not get into JMU. [/quote]
