[quote=Anonymous]My 11th grade son has a 2.7 in a mainstream private school and 1100 SAT. He is bright with learning disabilities. He would like to go to a four year residential college. As his grades haven't improved as we all had hoped they would junior year we've taken lots of schools OFF the list, but need to start putting some ON. We have enough in the 529 that money isn't a barrier. Major is totally undecided - he fluctuates between business, sports management, construction management, environmental science...he just doesn't know.

He will be a recruited baseball player, which may give him a little bit of a boost to get into some schools he might not otherwise, but we are looking for matches, not reaches, so ignore the recruitment bump. However, school needs to be a DIII or DII for him to play.

We started looking at Frostburg. Graduation rate is only in 50's, which is worrisome, but maybe that just is what it is. Any suggestions for schools in that range that are DIII? He prefers a mid sized to larger school, and likes a lively feeling campus environment. We think he'd do best with small class sizes (those learning disabilities...) and good academic supports.

Salisbury, Lynchburg, Shenandoah and Christopher Newport are all on the list but baseball is probably too much of a long shot - they are nationally ranked. Radford, Towson are D1 so also too much of long shot.

Any schools we might not have thought of where you know kids have had a good experience?[/quote]
