[quote=Anonymous]DD accepted to Muhlenberg College and other schools including Indiana (Honors), Maryland, Florida, Pitt.  She was actually waitlisted at William and Mary.    Applied there because she enjoys liberal arts AND voice/musical theater and we were looking for options where the two could be

Background - She was recently waitlisted at Michigan STMD and rejected at Northwestern after auditioning in person at both places - beautiful voice!   She didn't apply to music school at Indiana because she thought it might be too big of a music school.   And who knows if she would have gotten in.   This entire year has been tough on her.

AT any rate, everyone tells me what a 'great' and 'caring' school Muhlenberg is.  And it seems that way.  She did a zoom last week and the first question someone asked was how their kid's IEP would be handled.

DD has been in school with many kids with IEP plans, meds, problems.   Yes, it is sad in this day and age that kids have this, but she doesn't.   She came away from the zoom feeling like Muhlenberg might be a place where quirky kids go who cannot handle bigger places and need a lot of support.  She does know several kids who go who are kinda quirky and odd.  DD wants to be with different folks.. She loves the arts but doesn't want to be in a school with solely funky arts people.

She takes pride in herself and it made her feel she was accepted to a second rate place.   I don't mean to insult Muhlenberg or those who have kids there.   I guess I am a little worried too.

Should she target higher ranked places like Maryland, Indiana Honors, Pitt etc in lieu of a smaller school like Muhlenberg?

Does anyone know about Muhlenberg?  Can she find academic challenge and peers there?  Good outcomes?

SAT is 1400 GPA is 4.7 w/3.98 UW.  Beautiful voice.  Loves English, History.    Just a great kid.

The whole process this year is so difficult.

Thank you!
