[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one in their right mind would rank JMU ahead of VT. Lots of people wouldn't rank JMU ahead of GMU, but that's more debatable. [/quote]

Please note that JMU's business school ranks far above VT's in Businessweek rankings.

GMU is still considered an "up and coming" school, so I don't think you can really compare its programs to JMU or VT at this point.

I think it's fair to say that a lot of students who are interested in JMU don't even apply to VT, and vice-versa.  There are some kids who don't want to go to a school as large as VT.

These two schools are not that much different in size.  JMU has 19,000 undergrads while VPI has 23,000.  Size of the student body is probably not keeping that many JMU kids from applying to Tech. Tech is known for having massive 300-student classes, though. And Tech's location in a tiny, far-away mountain town is probably more of a hinderance.

Another real difference seems to be gender.  JMU is very female-heavy while Tech is a sausage-fest.[/quote]
