[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I second the Towson’s and St Mary’s suggestions for MD. Here are a few other possibilities for your son to consider.

MD
St Mary’s (actually a top ranked public liberal arts college) (acceptance rate 81%)

Towson  (part of U MD system, first training college for teachers in MD so strong in education) (acceptance rate 76%)

UMBC (UMD honors college in Baltimore County that is considerably  easier to get into then the flag shop UMCP (44.%) but has some higher ranked programs) (acceptance rate 61%). Do need average 3.9 GPA though.

DC
Catholic University of America (urban liberal arts) (85% acceptance rate)

Mary Baldwin University - 100%
	Sweet Briar College - 96%
	Bluefield College - 94%
	University of Lynchburg - 92%
	Virginia State University - 91%
	Longwood University - 90%
	Norfolk State University - 90%
	Randolph College - 90%

Niche has “best colleges in ___ (State ) with high acceptance rates”   - so suggest your son check those schools out in the states that he is interested in. Let him research the individual colleges listed to decide whether he might like to apply to those as “safeties”

Eg South Carolina

2022 Best Colleges with High Acceptance Rates in South Carolina
Bob Jones University. ...
Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College. 
University of South Carolina
Union.Spartanburg Community College.
Columbia College 
South Carolina. 
Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
Piedmont Technical College.

I strongly suggested that our son apply to a good number of solid safeties so that he felt like he had decent options. He appreciated it after a brutal round of rejections despite being a top athlete scholar at a good school. The competition from this area is fierce.

Good luck.[/quote]

Bob Jones??  Definitely not a top school[/quote]

Not the point - that was an example of schools in South Carolina with high admission rates identified by Niche. Presumably, the OP does not
Know schools with high admission rates in southern states. The student would need to review the lists themselves and see whether any might work as a safety school for his needs and purposes.
