[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're hoping our daughter graduates at that GPA - she has to do well this year.

Here is her list:
ODU (going for their open house tomorrow-has done a summer program there the past 2 summers, but has never done a full tour)
Radford (did a program summer of 21)
Randolph (loves the Take2 thing-toured in July)
Shenandoah (just toured last week)
Emory & Henry (wait and see-last school added)
Slippery Rock (PA) (went to a summer program in 22, close to a cousin)
Meredith (NC) (toured last fall)
Dean (MA) (toured 3 weeks ago - already admitted to their dance program, plans double major)
Alma (MI) (added after an event last spring - will see if she gets admitted, then tour)
[b]Northern Michigan[/b] (auto admit at 2.25, will maybe tour in spring)
Lindenwood (MO) (another wait and see)

We are prepared for her NOT to get into any schools academically and have to go to NVCC. And even if she gets in somewhere, if we don't see effort and drive this year, we aren't wasting our money on a 4 year college.

Are you a Michigan family? Because I cannot imagine going to school in Marquette unless I had very strong ties to the area, it's just like...alaska levels of isolation and snow in the winter.

If your daughter is into dance and performing arts, and is Michigan inclined, I'd consider other places like Eastern Michigan or Oakland University, both publics in the Detroit area. The latter is really focused on performing arts; it's sort of a hidden gem in the tony suburbs.[/quote]

we are NOT a MI family. Stumbled across NMU in our search for schools where she could do dance and combine with exercise science. Yes, we know it is far and cold, etc, etc. It is very out of left field. We follow their social media accounts, though, and it seems like a lovely place to spend 4 years. Actually saw on some post about the new freshman class a few weeks back that there was someone going there from Falls Church-thought "gotta find that person to share trips!"

It is likely an also ran, but she's still going to apply and see what happens.

As for the other schools you mention - trust me, we looked at all of them. EMU and Oakland weren't a match for her. Central was soooo close, but they require a specific minor that my daughter doesn't want. Western is well known for its arts programs, but I don't think she would get in with her terrible GPA, honestly.

She seems to be leaning towards ODU, Dean or Randolph right now. Pretty sure MI and St Louis area won't really be a thought by the Spring.[/quote]
