[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was also accepted to Muhlenberg. I have heard it is good for kids with anxiety, which I interpret to mean it is small and supportive. It doesn’t mean every kid who goes there is quirky or has anxiety, but it makes sense that kids who value that would choose a small school. FWIW my son will probably go elsewhere as he has higher ranked and better fitting options. He does have an IEP in HS and takes meds—he also has higher SAT scores than your kid, which I say only because [b]I find your tone a little belittling,[/b] even though I get your concerns. A school where theater is the biggest major is going to have a lot of quirky kids but to my mind that’s the theater thing, not SN.[/quote]

Hi.  OP here.  I am sorry if you found my tone belittling.  That wasn't my intent at all..  Congrats to your kid.  [/quote]

NP, your non-apology apology suggests a real lack of self-awareness. You might want to re-read this part of your post to understand why your tone *was* belittling.

[quote]DD has been in school with many kids with IEP plans, meds, problems. [b]Yes, it is sad in this day and age that kids have this, but she doesn't.[/b] She came away from the zoom feeling like Muhlenberg might be a place where quirky kids go who cannot handle bigger places and need a lot of support. She does know several kids who go who are kinda quirky and odd. DD wants to be with different folks.. She loves the arts but doesn't want to be in a school with solely funky arts people.

[b]She takes pride in herself and it made her feel she was accepted to a second rate place.[/b] I don't mean to insult Muhlenberg or those who have kids there. I guess I am a little worried too.[/quote]

You and your kid think it’s “sad” that kids have “IEP plans, meds, problems” and that “quirky” kids only go to “second-rate” schools. And all of this off of one question from one kid at an info session. Some self-reflection is in order, OP.[/quote]

+1 very off-putting.[/quote]
