[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when the Virginia Tech and William & Mary waitlists move, more spots will open up at JMU.

JMU has such a great mix of technology course, "caring professions" coursework and performing arts, in addition to great sports (to play & watch) that is a great fit for most people who were lucky enough to be admitted.

In NOVA, people are drawn to the most competitive option though, so it is safe to assume that if those even more selective colleges have movement, JMU will have a few who let their deposit go.

Deadline extensions we have been offered are into early June, so maybe by July the news you were hoping for will find your child.

My kid was flat out rejected, but offered a lot of merit aid at a private college with similar attributes, but it if were a WL, we'd be in the same boat. [/quote]

VT is closer to JMU in selectivity than to W&M to be factually clear.  Not even close.[/quote]

Whether you are incorrect or correct, you have shifted away from the point.

A lot of students are looking at both of those schools as a reach, or a first choice (for different reasons) but JMU does a nice job meeting the needs of a lot of different students. 
The statement is not about pitting VT & W&M against one another, but it is designed to actually address OP's concern.

I hope, for their sake, some students will give up their JMU spots to move out to Williamsburg or Blacksburg and it doesn't matter which. I only didn't bring up private colleges because these area all so close in price.

I think they were saying JMU waitlist movement is far more correlated to VT waitlist movement.  [/quote]
