[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you do a tour more locally, to start getting a sense of big/small, urban/rural, etc . . . ?  For example, if you're in MD, you could do a MD tour and look at Hood, Goucher, Loyola Marymount, McDaniel, UMBC, Towson, St. Mary's and Salisbury, which would give her a sense of different kinds of options.  Then if she decides that she really loves one of those schools, you could look further afield at schools that are similar.

We are in MD, and yes, thanks for these college names. (We just finished the college application process with her older sister, whose stats are waaaaay higher, so I'm not familiar with most of these schools.)

I'd still like to take her to some OOS schools where she might both get in and get some merit aid.

I've heard of so-so students getting merit aid at not very selective colleges, so that's what we're likely looking at. (A friend's kid got a lot of $$ from a private midwestern college, can't remember the name, one of the Colleges that Change Lives, and his grades were mediocre.)
