Yes.

OP, consider Ohio Wesleyan. We visited a few years ago and I was very impressed.

Allegheny (which I also liked when we visited) also has a business major:

Somebody’s a CTCL fan lol. Don’t fall for the gimmick OP!

O.M.G go back to the other thread. For the love of Pete.

The OP is looking for business programs and somebody is on here pushing one CTCL school after another. CTCLs are not known for business. Actually they’re not known for anything - but especially business.

Sure I’ll stay off this thread so long as posters with an agenda don’t try and lead OP astray.

PP here who posted the LACs that have business majors. I suggested these schools because they do have business majors and because OP's DC may benefit from the small size and personal connections that a LAC offers. Given the GPA and the ACT score, a LAC may be the right choice.

And you got to them with the help of CTCL, correct?

At OP’s kid’s stats you’re not going to find schools that are “known” for one thing or another. The horror.

This, it’s not like OP’s kid will be deciding between Wharton and a CTCL. A 3.0 average limits choices to a tier that includes CTCLs

+1 My DC wanted a LAC with a business degree, had scores right at the mean at W&M and got in, but found had basically 0 chance to major or even minor in business there because it was so competitive. Loves it there, is getting a fantastic education, but would have been able to study business at a lower ranked LAC (and would have gotten merit offers given scores). Not saying DC regrets the choice but there really is no access to the business school for lower than the top quartile of interested students (of which there are many). Can't picture DC thriving in a larger state school due to ADHD.

OP here. I should have mentioned that DS has had trouble staying on task so the thinking is that a smaller LAC may be a better fit. The fear of the big state schools would be him falling through the cracks. Unfortunately, he still requires a bit of hand holding. Not ideal but that is wat we are dealing with. Trying to find someplace where he can thrive and gain some confidence, if that makes sense.

I visited them a few years ago during the college search process with my son.

OP, that makes sense to me. (I'm the PP who posted the LAC suggestions.) There's nothing wrong with needing some hand-holding and as you know, your son won't get that at a large school. I would consider the LACs I posted (and look into whether there are others that would work).

Thanks for this but I think the schools on this list are out of reach - Washington and Lee, Richmond, Skidmore, Dickinson, and Franklin and Marshall.

Your son could consider Skidmore and Dickinson as reaches, particularly since you are full pay.

I think the other schools I posted about are targets, and could work well for him.

Best of luck to you. My DC, who struggled mightily in HS, is at a LAC and really coming into his own. We couldn't be happier with how he has done. Based on what you have posted about your son, I'm guessing a LAC would serve his needs very well.

And this is exactly why I suggested trying another route before going the expensive private one and got laughed off the page. Nobody is going to throw merit money at OP’s kid. If the kid goes private, there’s a real chance OP is throwing money away. But, hey, it’s OP’s money - and OP’s kid is exactly the kind of applicant whose “full pay” a second tier private would love to take.

Thanks for your input and I agree. Unfortunately, for better or worse, community college just has a stigma attached to it. DS just shuts down when it is even suggested. Yes, I know we are responsible for this but we are trying to do what we can at this point.

Direct admit at UIowa is 3.6, but Iowa State would be a match
