Huh?

This contradicts everything I have ever read or heard about VA state schools[/quote]

If anything, JMU seems to be on the rise. [/quote]

JMU nearly doubled its enrollment size over the course of two decades, which of course increased its acceptance rate, giving the appearance that its quality was diminished, which it's not. Was it more desirable when it had 10,000 undergrads in the late 80s compared to over 20,000? For some, yes, but its increase in size makes a great public education accessible to many more Virginia residents. Eventually, that acceptance rate will continue to creep back down to its closer to 55% of the 80s and 90s. And since the only thing NOVA parents care about is stature and elitism, that acceptance rate will make it desirable again.[/quote]

Plus JMU is now on the common application, which will increase applicants[/quote]
