[quote=Anonymous]With that GPA and if she gets her score up a little, she can get merit from an OOS public or from a private university that will appreciate the "geographic diversity".  For example, my son received good merit at UConn that made the cost equivalent to in-state tuition. His friend is getting basically getting his full tuition paid for at Alabama (we live in NJ).

That said, I do not think Mizzou would be a bad choice. The other Missouri publics are kind of meh. My DH went to Missouri State, and he does very well (and works in NYC and is a liberal), but southwest Missouri is very conservative/bible belt and the campus is not very attractive.

Our neighbor, born and raised in Brooklyn, went to Mizzou for their excellent journalism school. Of course he didn't stay in Missouri but he's done well and loved his time there.

More recently, my niece who is not conservative at all also graduated from Mizzou's journalism school about 8 years ago and does very well working in advertising on the East Coast.

From my own experience (husband from Midwest, many in-laws still living in Midwest, parents grew up in Midwest, so I spend a lot of time there but I'm from the Northeast) personally it's not a place I would live as an adult but for college it would be fine. [/quote]
