JMU always says mid-January. Two years ago Jan 13 (Thu), last year Jan 17 (Tue)

Is there another JMU thread that I’m missing? It’s hard to believe that we’re less than two weeks from decision day at a large state school and there sre only four comments on this thread.

I was wondering about that, too. Seems odd to have so little chatter for such a big school.

Looks like this is it… I’m sure more will chime in as we get closer to decision day.

How do you know it is two weeks away? I have no actual knowledge but we are waiting impatiently!!
The thread has 3000 views. People are looking, just not commenting…

It will either be next Friday or Tuesday the 17th. My son heard if I remember correctly the Friday before MLK in 2022. He’s a sophomore now at JMU.
We are waiting to hear now for our daughter. Best of luck. It’s an amazing school!!

Will they likely let us know the date in advance?

They just say mid- January but based on past years we are thinking the end of next Friday or day after MLK.
But no email or announcement goes out telling applicants what day they will hear? Thanks.
In scrolling through IG from years past, I can see they post on IG saying decisions are being released just like all the other schools. I imagine an email goes out as well.

Early action release dates over the past few years:
2023: Tuesday, Jan 17, around 11:30 am
2022: Thursday, Jan 13, sometime before 3:00 pm
2021: Tuesday, Jan 12, sometime before 3:00 pm
It seems like they prefer Tuesday or Thursday for a release, and the 12th is a Friday this year. So my guess is Tuesday, Jan 16 or Thursday, Jan 18 at the latest, but I hope I’m wrong and it’s sooner.

I’m hoping Thursday the 11th, but that’s nothing more than hope. I guess we would know by now if it was going to be tomorrow, right?

Happy to see some chatter on here! I was impressed everyone was holding tight and not doing the speculation thing about decisions weeks early… This is my daughter’s #1 choice!

I heard speculation it could be this upcoming Monday- not sure though.
My son found out the 13th in 2022. I believe that was a Thursday? So I’m hopeful it’s this week and we don’t have to wait another week. My daughter applied to both the school of media arts and design as well as dance.

My son has my genes, so he did not apply to dance.
