[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at the University of Missouri. Admissions are guaranteed for 24 ACT / 1160 SAT and a 2.0+ GPA. This is the state flagship; other state schools are even easier. It's crazy to me as a native New Yorker that so many locals send their talented, accomplished kids to Mizzou. But then they are having a good time, graduating without debt and still getting into law and med school, so maybe I am the crazy one. Still trying to figure that out.[/quote]

My kid with an SAT mid 1300s will attend Mizzou’s J-School. The top Journalism programs were a HUGE reach with their stats, plus the tuition made them completely out of reach.

They are getting enough merit aid to be a bit less expensive than our in-state flagship. The school has all the extras my kid wants: rah rah athletics, large enough campus, cute and close downtown, greek life. Add to that, their highly rated J-school. [/quote]

It's a great university and being able to step one foot off campus and be in a classic walkable college town with vibrant street life, bookstores, cafes, restaurants, etc. can't be underestimated.[/quote]
