[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Radford blows nuts. STD rate is higher than the grad rate.

OP, you need to look at Rollins College in Florida. It is small and nurturing, and it devours kids like yours: students from elite private schools who graduate in the middle of the pack or below.

According to the GPA distribution from the school's most recent common data set, one fifth of incoming freshmen had below a 3.0 high school GPA, and another one-fifth had between a 3.0 and 3.25.

Your kid's SAT is also at or above their 75th percentile. I think your kid would be in like Flynn.[/quote]

Rollins is gorgeous, though not particularly academically inclined. Not sure I would suggest it if you suspect your student has untapped potential and are hoping it will be realized in college.

I'm familiar with Rollings only because I have family in WP and it carries at least some name recognition, but would generally advise against blowing money on an uncompetitive private, no name college or university. Better to go to a CC to blow a much, much lower amount of money while figuring out what to pursue and earning grades to compensate for HS.[/quote]
