[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How rigorous is SMCM? It says it’s an honors college but has a v high acceptance rate. Would a top HS student be bored here? My kid loves the campus but worries it would be like MCPS “everyone in honors english” [/quote]

I don’t know what your kid would find boring, but if they what organic chemistry or advanced physics of the most writing-intensive English class you can imagine, you can take those at SMCM! And the other people taking them will be super smart kids just like your daughter.

There are indeed students at SMCM who are not super smart, straight A students. My kid is one. He actually is very bright, but he’s not a fabulous student. He is a funny, kind, generous man, though, so your daughter might like having him as a classmate even if he is a business major.[/quote]

How does your son like the business major? It's a pretty new program, isn't it? I've heard nothing but great things about St. Mary's. I've read about the close relationship between English professors and students there. It sounds intensive and supportive.[/quote]

He likes it! He is a freshman, though, so he may find he wants to do something else - which is part of why he wanted a liberal arts college. He wants to explore and learn a bit before he decides what his career will be. He has found his professors really caring and supportive, even the one that he started off saying was abrupt and confusing. He’s taking another class with her next semester because he ended up building a relationship and likes her class. He likes the focus on business administration and management rather than finance - he is not gonna be a finance bro. So it seems a really nice fit for him.[/quote]
