[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very average kid (not DCUM average) and have found some lovely nurturing places for kids who don’t have 4.8 GPAs an 10 APs and may benefit from some more personal attention and support. Very pleasantly surprised with Randolph-Macon and Christopher Newport, and because my kid wants to study a language not always taught, looked at Elizabethtown in PA. We were very impressed at how they had tracked his interest and a professor of that language spent a whole hour on a personal session just for him. [/quote]

We wound up getting very personalized tours at the smaller schools we visited. We visited Randolph (the former women’s college sister to RMC) during private college week in the summer. They took us to the ice cream place just outside one of the gates during the general tour. Also, because my daughter was interested in a specific performing art, after everyone else left, a professor took us to see those facilities.

2 other schools basically planned a day just for my daughter, including a couple sample classes to get a feel for the program of interest. The school she eventually chose sent us on a tour with a guide that was doubling in the two fields my daughter planned to combine.

It really does feel much more personalized and special.[/quote]
