DS chose JMU
Accepted also at VT, Penn State. Waitlisted at South Carolina and Tennessee. Visited the campuses before making up his mind and felt completely at home at JMU. No question in his mind. |
Vanderbilt |
Acceptances: W&M, Florida State, UVA, and VA Tech, Univ. of Richmond, Univ. of Miami
Rejections: Rice, Dartmouth, Georgetown Choosing: University of Florida |
DD applied to JMU and GMU and got into both.
Chose JMU |
He came around pretty quickly. |
Lynchburg. Honors Program. No debt after school. And >$100K left over for grad school (pre med or PA). |
Are they giving dc a full ride? How do they do with MD admissions? |
The point is that these so called random crimes are more common than an attack from a homeless person or because one attends an urban school. The most likely person to commit a crime against a student is another student. |
What are they majoring in? I have an arty kid so exploring options. Have already visited Pratt and RISD. Looking for other possibilities to add to the list. |
Not entirely free but it will be very cheap. We actually called and spoke to admissions and department chairs, and they were able to give specific examples and numbers of kids who went on to med and dental schools, including which schools. They school is small and so they were able to call that information quickly. They were very responsive. They also have a PT school onsite and a PA (with a direct admit route). The PA school is actually ranked well (for those who are concerned with that). Kid got into higher ranked schools but decided to shine in a small pool, do honors, and have lots of money left for the post-grad path. |
Hope they dont want to do math. Apparently WVU will be the only R1 university that doesn't offer a masters or phd in math. |
Nope. Headed for a BSN (with the potential goal of NP). |
Weird assumption. |
DC is deciding between UCONN and RPI for Aerospace Engineering
Accepted: UCONN RD RPI EA WPI EA (deferred and accepted RD) Embry-Riddle RD Clarkson RD NJIT EA RIT RD Rejected: Georgia Tech RD (obviously LOL) Lehigh RD Purdue EA (deferred and rejected RD) Waitlisted: Stevens EA VTech EA Rutgers EA (in-state) Received merit aid from all but NJIT (which is in-state tuition). Merit from Clarkson was very generous, but UConn almost the same price since the OOS tuition is lower than private tuition. His stats were really banal and we are pretty happy: 3.29 UW GPA at time of EA (higher now, he's done great senior year) 34 ACT 3 APs not an athlete, some interesting ECs like flight lessons. I guess his essay was good. North Jersey top public HS |
