[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should look at the FB group College Admission Advice for awesomely average kids. The rules of the group are under 3.5 wgpa & 1100-ish SAT.

Often mentions in that group: second-tier state schools (Towson, West Chester U, CNU, Easteen TN, U Western Carolina, etc), OOS “second-tier” flagships (OOS U Kentucky, Ole Miss, WVU, ASU, etc) and small, private buyer schools (Susquehanna, Adelphi, St Joe’s, Loyola Marymount, etc) [/quote]
I am wondering why DCUMers favor southern schools.  There are lots of wonderful second/third tier state schools in the North.  There are a bunch of New York state other than Stony Brook and Bing.  Rutgers other than New Brunswick.  They get no mention here.[/quote]

Frankly, I think a lot of kids want decent weather September thru May. For New England or upper Midwest, it can be brutal for a DC-area kid used to mild winters & not into snow sports.

Also New England publics are pricy & southern ones are cheap so that OOS costs, even without merit, might just be within 5k of MD or VA in-state costs. [/quote]

Due to climate change, new york at least the southern part now has "mild winters."

I believe at least Rutgers matches your state's tuition for at least some students.  [/quote]
