[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are uninformed about JMU, PP.  Even in the 80's, the business school was developing a great name for itself, and recruiters from the large consulting firms and from major corporations were eagerly hiring Madison graduates.  In the 2012 Businessweek rankings for undergraduate business schools, JMU's College of Business is ranked 32nd in the nation (compare to University of Maryland at 38 and VT at 52), and 12th among public universities in the nation.  They also have an excellent job placement rate for business graduates.  This is one reason the school has become such a popular option for VA students who aren't UVA material.

Yes.  I am a JMU business school grad and had 7 offers coming out of college - almost everyone I know had multiple offers.  Job market is much tougher now, but the business school there is very solid.  I didn't even apply to UVA b/c my brother was there - I got into William and Mary but chose to avoid the pressure cooker vibe there.  FYI - JMU also has an excellent music program, and I was very interested in taking some music courses on the side.  Also it has a very low percentage of students who choose to join frats/sororities, and I was highly interested in avoiding that whole scene.  There are lots of people that go there who ARE UVA material and perhaps just looking for something different.[/quote]
