[quote=Anonymous][quote]A summer program is nothing like a college and the people writing the certificates are likely random staff members--I wouldn't make any life impacting judgments on things like this. But if W&M is a stretch, I would recommend she consider JMU. It has a really well-regarded education program and the atmosphere of the school feels much smaller than it is. For education, you want a school that's fairly "well-oiled" in the licensure process, getting student teaching placements, supporting praxis exams etc. [/quote]

Oh how I wanted her to like and go to JMU...may Alma Mater!! We've visited often, done tours, etc., but alas...at nearly 20K undergrad students and a 2nd campus on other side of I-81....it simply was too big for her.

She felt UMW was the right fit for her from the moment she stepped foot on the campus and she is happy after receiving their offer of admission this week.  CNU (assuming she gets in - still waiting as EA deferred to RD) is a runner up as she's not 100% sure she wants to forego the sorority/fraternity and football team aspect of college.

As for W&M...if the Hail Mary pass results in admission offer...it will be a financial stretch for us and not sure she'd thrive in the high-stress environment they are known for.

She also has admission offers from Roanoke, Radford and Longwood.
