Amherst College- $30

Emory/Oxford $43

Premed student with intent to major in biology.

Amherst is they're okay with small colleges, Emory is they want a city school. Notre Dame isn't great for STEM and UPitt isn't worth the cost.

If she really likes W&M, I’d go the January start. Otherwise, maybe Gettysburg.


I might do wm spring, then JMU, then Gettysburg.

Kenyon at mid-60s annual coa.

Wooster at mid-30s coa
Hendrix at 30-ish coa
Beloit at 30-ish coa.


Beloit, where I wish my kid had applied. Otherwise, Wooster.

Here's mine, for English major, focus on creative writing, also interested in fine arts.

Wooster
Allegheny
Washington College
Ursinus
Saint Mary's College of MD

Waitlisted: American


SMCM worthy of strong consideration, especially if in-state. Otherwise, I’d lean Wooster.

Swarthmore or William and Mary assuming in state. Not Wesleyan.


+1 Swarthmore if funding is okay. WM or UVA if in-state--what kind of science?

All of these seem like potential great fits, but for some reason Wooster is jumping out at me.


+1 These seem like good choices. I think Wooster or Beloit -- likely depending on preference for location. Don't know much about Hendrix. I love Kenyon but I don't think it's worth 2x the cost for your kid based on their description. St. Olaf might be good depending on the type of square peg they are.

Pitt, get good grades, transfer to UVA or William and Mary.


why would you have him pick almsot the most expensive option? Pick from JMU, USC, Indiana whichever felt best after visiting.



In case he can't transfer and is at Pitt...it is the best of the lot other than William and Mary.


Pitt is better than IU Kelley?


For undergrad, yes. I know a kid from the Gym there now at Pitt doing business. He got money but he turned down Gtown, GW, and W&M for it.


Pitt better than Kelley 😂


Dc is deciding between wm spring admit, JMU honors and South Carolina. Cost and distance is somewhat a factor so Indiana and Pitt are out. Does not want to have to transfer, even the spring admit thing is a hard pill to swallow. Wm not direct admit to business, but sc and JMU are, pretty much.

Kid is sporty and wants to go Greek. Not really interested in study abroad which is one of the fall options for wm spring admit. Which would you choose.
