[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NVCC's nursing program is surprisingly good - I know people who have gone there as part of a career transition and thought it prepared them well and was sufficiently academically challenging.

What's his test scores? Is he a B student because he's a slacker, and may find himself in college, or is he a B student because he may be reasonably hard-working but with some special needs or is just not the sharpest tool in the shed? For the former, GMU/JMU seems like a better place, maybe CNU as well. For the latter, Longwood.[/quote]

OP here.  They're a B student because of multiple Learning Disabilities that are well documented by an IEP.  They work incredibly hard but the FCPS 70/30 grading policy has presented challenges this year.  We will be looking at a solid B GPA when applying next year and kid wants a traditional college experience away from NOVA - so ruling out GMU, Marymount and NVCC.  Kid also doesn't want emo/artsy schools so smaller liberal arts with quirky kids won't be up their alley.  [/quote]
