[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JMU is going to continue to get harder to get in to…

Pretty campus
Rising sports programs
“Traditional College Experience”
Affordable In-State
Big enough but small than VT[/quote]

It was much harder back in the 90s…only a 30% acceptance rate back then.[/quote]

I remember this as a mid 90s grad. Our valedictorian went to JMU. What changed in the 2000s?[/quote]

I went in the early 90s. It was truly Just Missed UVA (JMU) and much better than Tech. It went from 12,000 students in the 90s to 22,000 now. [b]Selectivity went down a lot to grow it to almost double the size.[/b] [/quote]

This is what I heard from a friend who is native to NOVA and went to VT back then, too. JMU lowered selectivity purposely to grow its size. Hopefully they're happy with their current size and can implement ED to better identify high performing students who really do want to attend, and then also be a little less selective during RD because VA needs schools like JMU (affordability, quality, size, athletics, good band, etc) for strong students who aren't tops in stats.[/quote]

ED mainly benefits the school; not the student. I see no reason at the moment anyway,JMU would need to institute ED. It fills its freshmen class. 
We have a student at JMU who came in who was “tops in stats” in a really competitive NOVA high school, good rigor, and an athlete. Her friends, not all from VA, are the same.
