[quote=Anonymous]Parent of college sophomore here. My son applied to JMU (he is in-state) and it was probably a target school for him based on his stats. He flat out refused to do the optional but highly encouraged personal statement. He was waitlisted and never got off the wait list. I’m convinced he could have been accepted if he had submitted a halfway decent essay. In his case he didn’t want to go there so he couldn’t be bothered to write it. If your daughter is interested in the school think she should definitely submit the essay and it should be revised if possible. [/quote]
