diablo03 Posted June 16, 2016 I just thought I'd start this to see if anyone else applied during this cycle...... Welcome fellow applicants!
dbwood Posted June 18, 2016 I applied! I did't get a confirmation from them, but, after I emailed, they said that they had everything they needed from me. (heart attack postponed for another day)
diablo03 Posted June 21, 2016 Author I applied! I did't get a confirmation from them, but, after I emailed, they said that they had everything they needed from me. (heart attack postponed for another day) I feel like most of this process is postponing a heart attack for another day. I never realized how impatient I was until this application. I always knew I was impulsive, but this is taking it to the next level. Good luck!
cashlyn3 Posted July 8, 2016 Application submitted 7/7, Verified 7/15 and got a confirmation email from JMU 7/18. Good luck to everyone :)
wamucc Posted July 26, 2016 The supplemental application (their "Graduate School" site) asks for unofficial transcripts to be uploaded, but I went through it and don't see a place to upload them. Does anyone know if this is actually required? (I did submit all official transcripts to CASPA, so maybe that satisfies the requirement?)

Does anyone know if this is actually required? (I did submit all official transcripts to CASPA, so maybe that satisfies the requirement?) Where did you see that? This is what was written on my application, and pretty much the only mention of transcripts: "If you are recommended for admission you will need to provide an official transcript (sent to us by mail directly from the institution). Your offer of admission will be contingent upon the receipt and verification of these official documents (which must show the award of degrees where appropriate.) Do not send official records until we request them from you." If it makes you feel better, I don't recall uploading any transcripts, and I have already received an email from JMU PA that they have received my verified CASPA and grad app.

I see it when I log into the Graduate School site, on the home page: "One unofficial transcript from each university attended must be uploaded within the application. Please do not mail transcripts as part of your admission application; we only accept unofficial uploads for application evaluation. If you are offered admission, one official transcript for each university attended will be required prior to the first day of the term."

But on the actual application, I didn't see a spot for transcripts to be uploaded either.
futureVAPA Posted August 14, 2016 Has anyone gotten a confirmation email or any word from JMU since their August 1st deadline?
Hihihihihi Posted August 29, 2016 I emailed because I never received a "under review" email, but havent heard anything still. Everything was verified july 27ish
mscon Posted September 7, 2016 I just received an email from JMU yesterday inviting me for an interview so you should be hearing from them soon. Does anyone know how JMU does graduate interviews or have any pointers on what to wear and how to prepare? This will be my first grad school interview and I'm an already anxious about it. Thanks! and Good luck to everyone!
dhf95 Posted September 8, 2016 I received an interview invite email on 9/5 with options to interview on 9/9 or 9/16. I will be interviewing on 9/16, good luck everyone!
mscon Posted September 9, 2016 I received an interview invite email on 9/5 with options to interview on 9/9 or 9/16. I will be interviewing on 9/16, good luck everyone! I also chose the 9-16 slot. I guess I will be seeing you there! Do you have any information on how they conduct their interviews?
jmtam Posted September 21, 2016 I know this is probably the first rounds of interview they are holding. When do you think I should give up on waiting? Do they send rejection emails?
marylanddoc Posted September 23, 2016 I received an email this morning with the options to interview on 09-30, 10-07 or 10-21.
marylanddoc Posted September 27, 2016 For those who already attended the interview, do you mind sharing how it went?
laureng1 Posted September 27, 2016 jmfam, I applied to JMU in June 2015 and waited an incredibly long time for a response- it was torture. By January 2016 I was getting antsy and called to see if there was any update- they said my application had not been rejected. Then I received a rejection email in March. So don't worry at all that you haven't heard anything...you may not for a few months. I've built up more patient care hours and applied again this year and haven't heard anything yet.

Thank you for sharing that. It's so hard to not equate silence with "nope" so I appreciate this information! Best of luck in your apps :)
laureng1 Posted October 4, 2016 My application was verified on CASPA on July 29 but I just got an email from JMU yesterday saying that my application had been received and verified. I think they are catching up with everyone who applied in July :)
dhf95 Posted October 7, 2016 I interviewed on 9/16, got an email on 9/26 stating that my name had been "forwarded to The Graduate School at JMU with the recommendation of acceptance," my status on MyMadison changed from "complete" to "admitted" yesterday, and official acceptance letters were sent out today according to the graduate school. So excited to be accepted, good luck to everyone else!
Kindle123 Posted October 8, 2016 "dhf95"-congrats,can you please share something about you as an applicant.
marylanddoc Posted October 12, 2016 The interview was one of the best, they just chat with you, I love it, and I love the campus. I pray that I get accepted here.
Kindle123 Posted October 12, 2016 Dhf95- what was your major and what type of clinical experience did you have?
dhf95 Posted October 13, 2016 Dhf95- what was your major and what type of clinical experience did you have? I am currently a senior finishing my BS in Health Sciences. I'm super excited to have been accepted on my first time applying, especially since a lot of people don't get accepted right out of undergrad. I have been an EMT for about 2 years along with some clinical volunteer work. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
