Are we thinking the 15 or 22 is more likely for decisions?
Hoping the 15th!!

Suits him so well; Big sports [and growing,] large but not too overwhelming, full of amenities, and great diversity. In an incredibly beautiful surrounding area.
As family/parents, we’re very impressed. If our next son goes there, we’d be pleased! Good luck to all

If the date was Jan 23, 2024 as someone said above and it definitely was Jan 23, 2025 last year (my older son was accepted that day) I guess more like Jan 23 this year vs 15th.
Anxiously waiting!!

I hadn’t been, still thinking of next week 1/20-something…but the email is encouraging! Hope past 2ish years made it a little better for incoming class. Good luck all!
Any idea what time results are typically released for JMU? Thinking most likely some time this evening or tomorrow PM?

I think in 2024 it was something like the 17th. However, for both 2024 and 2025 that date was after MLK day. Hence, I suspect it will be next week.
