What else?[/quote]

If you’re comfortably full-pay, she probably has a great shot at any private university below the Johns Hopkins level. Full-pay is going to be every college’s favorite extracurricular. Maybe she could try George Washington University, Davidson, Washington & Lee, or even Georgetown, if she claims she’ll major in something uncommon and emphasizes that she’s fine with virtual classes. Maybe she’d get merit aid at Hollins and have a lot of fun there.

Even if someone says, “Private school X has an average SAT of 1400,” that was before Covid, and before the international students got chased away. I think admissions officers will look at a flexible full-pay student with good grades very generously this year.

If she really wants a state flagship, my feeling is that the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota,  the University of Iowa, and the University of Indiana are roughly comparable to the University of Maryland but easier to get into. Maybe your daughter would be better off taking a plane to a school like that than going to a private school or a non-flagship public university, if what she wants is a state flagship. [/quote]

I agree that full pay at a private changes things, especially if you can decide strategically not to send scores.

If full pay, I would add WUSTL. [/quote]
