[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big companies still go to all of these schools

After your first job no one cares where you went to school anyway

I went to JMU 10 years ago and I had a lot of fun

Now I make over 6 figures and I would have done just as well as any of the other colleges on this list[/quote]

Again, we know that.  There's nothing wrong with JMU.  I'm just saying that if you're from NOVA and truly are a borderline UVA admit, as was my daughter, it can be a let down to have to go there.  Her high school probably sent two or three dozen kids there, including some good friends, none of whom performed as well as she did academically.  [/quote]

2017-2018 Freshman Enrollment from Fairfax County

GMU - 1,031
VT - 959
UVA - 680
JMU - 600

More likely to run into kids from your same high school at UVA than JMU.[/quote]

I'm not the poster who said JMU is high school 2.0.  The point is that our daughter was a better student than the two or three dozen of her classmates who went to JMU, and she wanted something better for her efforts.[/quote]

Then she should have worked harder to get it. No participation trophies in college admissions. Stop whining and move on. The problem was that she and likely you as well were so hell bent on UVA that everywhere else was a runner up.[/quote]

She got in[/quote]
