Has anyone accepted admittance and paid the deposit? It takes me to a site to pay the deposit but doesn’t tell me how much to pay.
@mbgaff1 Yes the amount of the deposit is listed in the offer letter, which is $400
@oneandonlykid Found it…thanks!
My DD’s application portal info includes a student ID# below her application ID#. Has this always been there, and we just overlooked it? Or is this new, and a good sign?
Ohhhhhh that sounds like a good sign. DD won’t let me into her portal so I’m not sure if hers has changed recently. She said I would look at it too often. ??
I NOTICED THAT TOO!! im a student and i hope that means something good!! 
My son’s application has a student ID now too… hoping that’s a good sign! Maybe it was always there?
i also noticed it says ‘admit term fall semester 2020’ has that always been there or did i get in? im very confused, i don’t remember seeing that until yesterday
OMG that sounds exciting!!! I must have DD check her portal today!!
Did your application status change from Completed to Admitted ? Where did you see that admit term fall 2020 verbiage?
nope still says completed, but under the completed tab it now has my 9 digit student id (not the application number) and says admit term fall 2020. could easily mean nothing, but it’s a little strange
Mine changed to. I have a screenshot from 2 weeks ago and I did not have a student ID before. So it is a new thing
I have a student ID as well now, hopefully that is a good sign!!
So yesterday I got a letter stating that his Madison Recognition Award was need based and we need to fill out the FAFSA, which I did months ago and sent to JMU. They said if we don’t qualify, and we won’t, it will be revoked. How could they send a scholarship offer relating to honors which says nothing about need and then weeks later say it is need based? What if we had committed to JMU and rejected other schools? That is a really unprofessional. I will contact them and report back for others that may be in the same boat. …I’m too old for this s***
Wow @TimJG that’s bad form! I’ve bee researching JMU for D21 and thought those are all merit based! Please update after you talk to them!
It does not mean anything if you see ‘Student ID’ and ‘admit term fall semester 2020’ displayed under ‘Complete’ status tab. If you click on Complete status, you will see the same information which has been there since your application was completed. By the way, can anyone confirm whether JMU will release their RD results by March 13 just like last year?
Whenever I logged into mymadison account yesterday and today the website looks like it crashed (it’s blank) and there’s nowhere to go. Is anyone else having this issue too??
I had that happen to me, too. It happened on my phone so I logged in on my computer and then it was fine. I don’t know why it was being weird on the phone.
@TimJG I completely agree. My daughter received the same award and the same email and letter saying that it will be revoked if we do not qualify for aid, which we do not. I found this in very poor taste since the original letter indicated that it was a merit-based award through the Honors College. It was very misleading! Personally, I think someone screwed up, and this was done to cover for the screw-up.
An admissions counselor posted yesterday on JMYou Forum that decisions would be posted “soon.” I don’t know what soon means to them. But it feels like we’re getting closer! ???
