[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD top choices were Penn State (UP) and Pitt (main campus) but she was only accepted to their satellite campuses. She has an acceptance to JMU which was a target for her. She is disappointed about the rejections but do you think JMU is somewhat comparable to PSU and Pitt but obviously less competitive?[/quote] If you are in-state (Virginia), I think JMU is likely a better value than Pitt or Penn State main campuses anyway. I am facing a similar situation with my DS. I can’t see paying $47K for Pitt compared to $20K for UMBC. Pitt only offered 6K in aid. DS was not accepted at UMD College Park, though he was offered a scholarship at UMBC.[/quote] We are in MD.[/quote] My kid goes to Pitt but I have a lot of friends/relatives in VA whose kids go to JMU and they love it; for many kids there it's their preferred choice. I'd visit, I'll bet your kid will really like it.[/quote]
