Something very cryptic was posted to their Instagram story. Are RD decisions out?

23

That’s a typical IG story that they post prior to the decision release date. That means it’s this week for sure. Spring Break starts Friday afternoon. Good luck everyone.

Oh thanks for the heads up!

Decisions are out, my son was waitlisted. Bummer.

D25 OOS accepted! Time to schedule a road trip to JMU. Any thoughts on Duke for a Day vs Choices? We can’t make the April 4th Choices. Is it worth waiting for the April 11th Choices or would Duke for a Day be similar?

Attending Choices is what sealed the deal for my son. I cant speak about the Duke for a Day, but Choices was well run and impressive! Our son is loving JMU—and we have been extremely impressed with the school

In state admitted. :partying_face: I think the deferral from EA put a damper on it, but looking at going to 4/4 choices on our way down to VT for Hokie Focus.

Child was just accepted (OOS). Did anyone receive merit?

31

I believe the letter said mid April for merit. I could be wrong.

32

Ok, thanks. That was my impression too–it just seemed so late!!

33

Our daughter was waitlisted, too

Same here. Oos

36

I feel like I read all merit had been given out. But maybe that was another school??

My son was accepted RD. His preliminary financial aid letter is still not available in his portal. When is this typically available?
