James Madison University Early Action for Fall 2024 Admissions

Daughter accepted!!

She got denied early decision UVA Nursing, and has not applied anywhere else :flushed: She does not want to go anywhere else! Thankful we don’t have to start applying quickly to schools she does not even want to be at.

The best way I can describe it is a mix between an extensive college tour / info session and a big pep rally in the basketball gym - with speeches from current and former students. The school spirit is evident. They also let you meet reps from individual colleges and majors that your kid is interested in. It’s a pretty long day but well organized and worth attending overall IMO.

Do we know if emails have gone out telling kids to check their portals?

Son deferred as Economics major. 3.45 UW 1270 SAT, some APs and Honors especially as a Junior & Senior. Varsity soccer and golf. This was expected. My daughter had a 3.9UW two year ago and was admitted EA. Good luck!

Wow, TYSM for this insight!

ACCEPTED! My daughter just checked. She’s so excited! She has 4.3 weighted GPA with AP and dual enrollment classes. She will have her Associates Degree completed upon high school graduation.

My son can’t log in and is impossibly stubborn. He has a 9 digit student ID number from when he applied, and swears its his usual password but gets an error message when he tries to log in. Can someone post the link for checking please, I am guessing he is on the wrong page…

Yikes! He should have set up an eID that is first 6 letters of last name then first initial middle initial. That is the username.

Like for John Michael Dukefan it would be DUKEFAJM

It’s all the same info he had right after he applied . Has he gone in since ? No changes from that point

Go to this link: http://mymadison.jmu.edu/

Also is he logging in on a phone or computer? My D’s login doesn’t work on either of our phones but fine on computer.

Thank you!!!

My daughter said the same thing!

Thank you!!! He was admitted (YAYYYY!!!)

Daughter called me minutes after she left the house…
DD: MOMMY! MOMMY! OMG! MOMMY!!!
Me: (Having a heart attack thinking she just had a car accident)
DD: I GOT INTO JMU!!!
I would be happy for a lackluster decision letter. I’m still shaking from that.
