U of South Carolina
Bama (Culverhouse Business School is very well resourced)
Tenn
Ole Miss
Maybe UMCP
Definitely Towson
Maybe DE

I wouldn’t opt for a small school nobody has heard of unless your kid needs a small school. Gettysburg is crazy expensive, and it’s not going to register with potential employers the way a state flagship will.



My kid with 3.7 us and no ap or honors did not get in Delaware. No Way to UMD college park. But my kid had abysmal sat score and a 1300 is respectable. Make UDel a reach. And if you in MD consider Towson. My education major DD had a great experience.

Yes, I think those are out of reach.

Are you coming from public or private?

Juniata sounds like a good fit for him.


We will look at Juniata. Thank you so much for the recommendation!


It used to be a small, women only teaching college.

MCPS public. We were not surprised when she did not get into Delaware or Penn State or Temple, she was below avg student. And Towson was just fine, especially for an education major. She’s working right alongside to those who went to OOS state public and private schools and doing just as well. I forgot to mention that now she is an elementary school teacher in MCPS.

A questions on the APs. Is it “no APs” because the private school didn’t offer them?

So much is about rigor available at the private or public high school.

Thank you. What are CNU and TCNJ?

No. Rochester would need a rigorous course load + higher GPA.

It’s perfectly within reach for Rochester coming from private school
