[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please share where your "normal" kid went to college. 2 years in a non AP school so no weighting but As and Bs. Now in public school where it feels like everyone is loaded with APs. DC is not. So average schedule for this year at least, and a B/A student. [/quote]

My normal kid went to Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, PA.  Very nice camps, under 2500 students, about two hours from our home.  He graduated a couple of years ago, easily found a job after and is enjoying his career choice.  He was an A/B student, just one AP class and he was in a public HS where APs were offered.  Otherwise honors classes.  Good SATs and ACTs, but not setting the world on fire.  Just one athletic EC and he wasn't at the top of that, mainly benchwarmer.

My other normal kid is in Shippensburg in PA.  Another nice small school, great environment for him, he also was an A/B student in HS, no APs, honors, again pretty good SATs and ACTs (but not the scores you see here on DCUMs!).  He did have an athletic EC where he was strong and is playing his sport there.

As others have said, there are a lot of schools!  I'm not sure where you're located, but PA has a [i]lot[/i] of schools.  We also looked at York College, West Chester, Slippery Rock, and a number of others in PA.  [/quote]
