| Student decided that they do not want to go out of the area anymore. We did apply to Howard just in case but apparently they did not get her documents on time. Are there any other schools that she can still apply to other than community college. Does anyone have any experience about the rigor of the local community colleges? Will she be likely to transfer and get into a full university? |

| Do you live in VA? If you do, NOVA is a pretty good community college, and has a great Guaranteed admissions program that lets students transfer to all the state schools, including UVA and William and Mary. |

In a few days, a list will be released of all schools that still have spaces available and are accepting applications. You will be surprised at some really great schools on the list. You can see part of last year's list at:

| You may want to try Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. Tremendous school that keeps getting better each year. Frederick is a great community. |
