OP here
If you have other suggestions I'd love to know!   One criteria that is important (but I didn't put in my op) is he does not want to go to a school that mandated a Covid vaccine for students.   Even if they have now rolled that back.[/quote]

Oh boy …[/quote]

U of South Alabama would give a lot of merit but probably too “progressive” How about Ole Miss?  Kansas might be a great fit. [/quote]

OP here
I don't know anything about U of South Alabama (TBH this is the first I've heard of it) but the University of Alabama's flagship campus in Tuscaloosa  would offer 24,000 in automatic scholarships based on my kid's current stats.  If he retook the SAT and got 1420+ or took the ACT and got  32+, he would get 28,000 in automatic scholarships.   Out of state tuition is 31,000--so my son's total tuition cost at the main campus would be less than in state tuition at Longwood, which is just under $14,000.

OP, you haven't yet mentioned whether your student WANTS to go to Kansas, Arkansas, etc. versus stay in Virginia/mid-Atlantic.  If they want to go to school in the Midwest, South, etc., and then live in those areas afterward, then go for it -- why even ask on DCUM?  And if they don't, why push them to do something they don't want to do?

Also, as someone pointed out, the fact that a hiring person has heard of a school does NOT mean that she/he has a favorable impression of it.  Could be that a progressive hiring person in Seattle has a negative impression, whether justified or not, of a school (e.g. University of Arkansas is a bunch of redneck partiers).  Name recognition can be a two-edged sword. [/quote]
