[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard nothing but good feedback on Muhlenberg. I would agree the very few kids I've known who went are fairly quirky (lovely and smart, too)--but I don't know if they represent the norm at all.  But they love their school and it seems like a place where people thrive.

Is she interested in [b]W&M's[/b] spring admit program for waitlisted students? That might be a great option for her--go abroad for the fall with their partner program and then start at W&M in the spring.  There are so many popular acapella groups at W&M, so that would be an easy social "in" for her if she were worried about missing fall (in addition to the supports for the spring admit cohort the school provides as well as friendships from study abroad).[/quote]

Adding: I am recommending this because of the mid-size of W&M and the "very together" type of student seems aligned with what you mentioned about her.  She might also love Pitt if she wants a more lively urban environment.[/quote]

HI.  OP here.  YES!  The size of W&M AND the robust music department were very intriguing, so she applied there.   Bummer - got put on waitlist and her buddies got in.   And yes, we are thinking of the fall semester options for that but DD has to be on board.  For her, it is psychologically tough because her friends are going off to school in the fall and she would be going to community college or to study abroad (which wasn't really in the cards).   It's an option though, and 3.5 months is nothing.   And yes, PITT is in the mix.   Thanks for your supportive post.   [/quote]

I would be careful about the spring start. Unless she is very social and good at making friends, it can be hard to start mid year and break-in when others have already established friendships. [/quote]
