[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are threads galore on GMU, JMU, VT, WM, NOVA heck even Penn State. But no one ever discusses this school. What's the deal? What type of student goes there?[/quote] Every school you listed except for NOVA Community College is a relatively large public school, W&M being the smallest and even it has nearly 9,000 students. Marymount is a tiny private Catholic school with like 3,500. I couldn't justify paying tuition at Marymount over even community college. [/quote] Why not? Most better students receive significant merit aid at Marymount that puts costs in line with a 4 yr state school. My daughter was a good, but not stellar, student (1960 SAT, 3.7 GPA) and Marymount came out to be a very, very financially realistic option. She ended up elsewhere, but these small, lesser known private colleges can be an absolute steal and are often a better "fit" for a particular type of student than the bigger state schools.[/quote]
