[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody outside of the DMV has heard of JMU. [/quote]

This is NOT true. [/quote]

I had not even heard of it until I was at UVA. Grew up in DC and literally had never heard of it. [/quote]

Sorry, but as a DC native who is roughly the same age, this makes you sound clueless.[/quote]

Why would I be aware of a not highly ranked school in a state I did not live when I was applying to Top 25 schools? The insistence that JMU was well known 30 years ago is just bizarre. It's in a small town in central VA--nowhere near DC. Where would I have heard of it? [/quote]

The more you post, the sillier you look.  I also went to high school 30 years ago, but in NoVA.  JMU was one of the most talked about, popular schools at that time, and guess what - still is - for VA students, mid-Atlantic students (and that includes MD and DC, btw) and in the past couple of decades, students from other states as well.  Look, we get it.  You want everyone to know you went to a "top school" and applied only to "top 25 schools."  You can sit down now.  No one cares about your weird insistence that you are somehow above average.  Which kind of begs the question - why are you on this thread?[/quote]
