[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the spread of those 4-5 colleges on the list as far as likely, target, and reach? Depending on what that looks like, I’d probably add 1 or 2 more for each bucket. So, try building that way from the existing list with schools that may be similar or otherwise appealing. If you share the actual list, you can probably get more helpful suggestions.[/quote]

UVA— reach
W&M— reach or target?
VT—?
GMU— safety
JMU— target or safety?

He has said he doesn’t want an urban campus. I think he might like smaller schools, but he hasn’t said that himself. So I was thinking he could look at some SLACs. [/quote]

You're making this harder than it needs to be.  Who cares if YOU think he "might like" smaller schools?  HE hasn't said that.  It's his life.  [/quote]

Because the kid doesn’t know so OP is trying to help her DS clarify what he might want. OP, if you’re in northern Virginia a trip to UMW in Fredericksburg is easy. It’s close enough you could even hit it on an early release day in the fall. And if you want him to see really small, Marymount in Arlington is only 1,900 undergrads. Summer classes start next week so there will be at least some kids on campus.

I’m not saying either of these particular schools is right for him, but they are very close to at least get eyes on without travel. A quick trip to Philly could accomplish the same thing. [/quote]

Nothing in OP's first post suggests he "doesn't know."  She just doesn't like his thinking.  Big difference.[/quote]
