Zimmer,I think he is leaning toward sticking with JMU (he got off their waitlist last month). He probably would have gone with Virginia Tech if he had gotten in initially but he kind of moved on when he got into JMU. He is not a Virginia Tech legacy, didn't really follow up with Virginia Tech to try to get off the watilist except the one initial email in April saying he was still interested in attending. If he had gotten off the Virginia Tech waitlist first , I think he would have gone with Virginia Tech. He moved on and got invested in going to JMU (which I think was the right thing to do for him as he/we really did not think he would get off the waitlist). I think he would be happy at either JMU or Virginia Tech and he knows the decision is up to him. He needs to decide by next Friday but I really think he will end up at JMU. His brother went to UVa but he did not apply(good SAT's but grades not up to snuff so did not bother to apply). If he had applied to UVa and been waitlisted and then got in there ,I'm sure he(and we) would have had a similar response that your son had to getting off the Virginia Tech waitlist. So happy for you and your son. Virginia Tech is a great school!
