I don't understand how this could be true. I know at least 4 of my DD's friends who had JMU as their safety when they got into their first choice. So I know of at least 4 girls from NOVA that were offered JMU admission and won't be attending. Doesn't that mean at least 4 kids get off the WL?

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.

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