[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD who was a reasonably strong student but not gunning for [b]top schools liked Washington and Jefferson[/b]. She went elsewhere but she liked the small size and they offered a lot of merit. I think you should check it out. DS who struggles academically but works incredibly hard is seriously considering Farliegh Dickinson. I don’t think anybody can really provide guidance without a sense of the courses your child has taken and his grades. DS takes a mix of honors and on level classes and will probably graduate with 4 APs if he sticks with his plan. He is very weak in math and science but stronger in English and history. He has a cumulative GPA of 3.6 uw and just above 4.0 w. He will be test optional. We discussed community college but he really wants a 4 year school so I’m supporting his wishes. I think a smaller school will offer him better support and hand holding but he wants big so FD seems a good compromise.  Maybe have your son try a dual enrollment class at the community college to see how he does. [/quote]

I think you are confusing this with Washington & Lee, which has an acceptance rate under 20% whereas Wasington and Jefferson accepts close to 90% of students that apply.  Not a top school at all.[/quote]
