<p>miles~ i sort of purposely didn’t read all the battles going on here to stay focused. if you have the priviledge of choosing between UVA and JMU, there’s no question. altho they are both in the wonderful VA State system, that’s where the comparison ends. we are OOS for VA, and JMU is thought to be no where near the caliber of UVA. it’s isolated, and, unlike UVA looks primarily at GPA, without serious concern for standardized tests, resulting in a student body quite different from UVA. yup, smaller fish…the way to go.</p>
