The remark about JMU is stale and doesn’t even apply to many students who apply to JMU as their first choice.

That was me. Sorry.
I meant to say "those that didn't get into a more competitive...."

....signed a person who is still bitter they did not get into JMU, and neither did my kid. A friend of kid who goes there (living my dream) has some sour grapes b/c isn't William and Mary or one of those.

However, all kids I meet who graduated are proud and happy.

Also West Point and Annapolis are getting a lot of attention because they're having great seasons. College sports - particularly football - is what gets people caring about a school that they have no connection to. Outside of very rarefied circles, absolutely no one cares about Swarthmore or Yale and the like.

The people that count care about the academically elite schools

DP. “The people that count”??

to be fair, it’s true

You are simply making yourself look more absurd with every post.
