MD Student Needs Safety Options

[Anonymous]

Muhlenberg and Purchase are both great suggestions!

What about St. Mary’s College of Maryland? They offer a dance minor but it’s more theater-based than ballet. SMCM seems like a potential good fit though.

University of Mary Washington comes to mind. They have a decent selection of dance courses at different levels (beginning and interned ballet, jazz and modern).

Definitely have a good look at Washington College in Chestertown. Very generous with aid.

This is good advice, especially when considering that you will get in-state tuition as a Maryland resident. I believe they have a new performing arts theater.

OHIO are you kidding no.

I don’t understand this thinking even as a very liberal pro-choice woman. If my son goes there and his girlfriend gets pregnant he can help her pay to get to a state that can help her, if that is her choice. Many kids who have enough money from this area to move to OH for college have enough money to avoid the legal BS that exists there now. Thus us an equity issue as well as legal. For instance, if my daughter goes to Kenyon I’ll buy her a box of plan B and have her keep it in her dorm since they will not have it at the local cvs. Obviously the laws are disgusting in my opinion but why should an affluent kid from dmv avoid the whole slew of college options there if they have the means to avoid their impact personally, and then they can help vote those idiots out of office while they are there.

My DC is a dancer (ballet) as well. check out Vassar. their dance was the best for those types of schools and they have a decent orchestra as well. Skidmore would be great safety also strong in the arts. Richmond also has very good dance and I have heard Bucknell is OK. but have no first hand experience. We were also impressed with offerings at Hamilton.

Targets
Wesleyan
Hamilton
UMD
Franklin & Marshall
Dickinson
Bard


range of targets is very large! Bard, Dickenson, FM safeties. Wes and hamilton reaches. Could add Union, Conn college for safeties. Conn College has excellent dance.

People get abortions for life-saving reasons, too. That gets overlooked. In the recent Texas lawsuit, a woman was denied an abortion and unable to leave the state to get one. They forced her to birth the baby, which died quickly, and she now has permanent damage to her body.

Some anti-choices want to forbid women from leaving the state for abortions.

Another woman wasn’t allowed to get an abortion that would save her life and that of one of the twins she carried. The other twin had trisomy 18 and would die at birth and risk the life of the other twin. The state would rather she birth two dead babies than have an abortion to save her other baby and herself.

Why should a woman enter that madness when they want to focus on school? Let men go there if they don’t care…

Ithaca College? Not sure about music but my sister definitely took dance there.

Grinnell isn't in Ohio. It's in Iowa. All three of those schools are good schools. It could be good for your child to get away from the East Coast and see what most of the world is like. DC visited a college in Ohio, and we all were amazed at how nice the people were compared to here.

+1 Maryland recently expanded abortion access so it's easy to arrange for a child to come back here for an abortion if desired. I also think it's short-sided to trash the entire state because of what some legislators did. By teh same reasoning, you should have trashed the US and moved to another country when Trump was elected.

For a student with a 4.0 and 35 ACT? Really?

I have a similar student and they will probably apply to St. Mary's and maybe UMBC as safety. UMD may not be a safety but I think it's a pretty likely admission

Indiana, hands down! Checks all of her requirements.
