[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]E&H almost made it on my child’s list when I happened across it on this list. Had she gone to Randolph, she likely would have taken classes at Lynchburg (consortium). Several of these schools were on our radar anyway but weren’t the right fit for various reasons (Hope is a bit too religious and Goucher didn’t have the second major she wanted). To me, it’s another list of schools to consider - no more, no less. Some of them do have an extra CTCL scholarship, so could help.[/quote]

Why didn’t she go to Randolph?[/quote]

She got into another small school in New England that had great programs in everything she wanted. Randolph just didn’t have the same resources at their disposal. She liked Randolph very much, though-it was a strong contender. It was by far her cheapest option with merit, arts scholarship, visit scholarship, plus the VTAG money.[/quote]

Can you elaborate on what resources were missing? At such a small school, you would think every resource would be at the disposal of essentially every student. [/quote]

The school she chose is on a train line to Boston and has a partnership with the Kraft group (patriots organization + a MLS team). The school is also notable for its performing arts programs and has onsite athletic trainers specifically for those students. An internship is required there, and students can intern right on campus with the performing arts ATs. My child hopes to combine Dance with Exercise Science and work as a Dance Trainer (there is actually a field known as dance science, which this school has held symposiums on).

The other selling point is that this school is well known for its supports for students with LDs.

Randolph is a great little school and we loved the Take2 curriculum, but Lynchburg isn’t Boston area and their dance program is only a minor now. I also didn’t get great answers on their academic supports, although I am sure she could have received personalized attention there. [/quote]

Dean College? There is a lot to like about this school.[/quote]
