Hey guys, I just received a letter saying I was waitlisted at JMU. I was wondering if any of you know what the waitlist acceptance rate is like at James Madison University? Just looking for some hope that I might get in eventually.
Hey there! While it's hard to predict the exact waitlist acceptance rate at James Madison University, the rate can vary every year depending on factors like the number of admitted students and the yield (the percentage of admitted students who actually choose to enroll). In the past, JMU has had waitlist acceptance rates ranging from 10% to 50%. Remember that this rate can change each year and might be different for your particular admissions cycle.
To improve your chances, make sure to accept your spot on the waitlist and provide any additional requested information. You may also consider sending a letter of continued interest (LOCI), which can not only reiterate your enthusiasm for the school but can also provide updates on any recent achievements or developments in your academic or extracurricular life that may enhance your application. Stay positive, be patient, and focus on your other options. Best of luck, and I hope you end up hearing good news from JMU!
