[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is off topic but with all the people bashing the school, where you go to undergrad does not measure your success in life. One of our local orthodontists graduated from JMU, went to dental school at Temple, and orthodontist school at UMD.  She’s killing it with 5 locations, a family with 3 young boys, now only working one day a week. Her lawyer husband helps her run the business. I’d say JMU worked out just fine. [/quote]

Exactly. And I don’t have a kid at JMU - but it seems to be a school where the kids who go there feel overwhelmingly positive. My child’s dermatologist went there, and I know successful people in a range of fields that are happy alums. [b]I do think the name recognition is best in the DC area so that something to keep in mind but there’s no reason a kid can’t go to JMU and have a good life. [/b]

I do know of two kids rejected last year, one with a 3.7 weighted and one with a higher weighted gpa (close to 4 but not sure of exact number). Common thread to the extent there was one could be that neither had a lot of APs.[/quote]

The amount of condescension here is just ridiculous. How very generous of you to state “ there’s no reason a kid can’t go to JMU and have a good life.” My circle of JMU friends includes CEOs and business owners, CFOs, CIOs, JAG Corp, a hedge fund manager, and a plastic surgeon. Despite going to JMU, they are managing to just eke out a living and live what some may generously call “a good life.”[/quote]

Right?  I read that and actually laughed out loud.  I guess my friend who went to Georgetown Law after JMU, and who lives in a gorgeous home and neighborhood has somehow scraped by.   :lol:
