[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa, OP back--thanks all.  Got my preschooler down to bed and I'm ready to do a bit more research.  Going to revise my list and send it out to the kid tonight.

Sounds like he's missed some financial aid deadlines--is he basically SOL?  What should he be doing over the next, like, two weeks?  I want to help as much as I can, but I know he's missed the boat on some stuff.

His mom means well but it sounds like they have not been very organized.  Talked to another family member tonight--sounds like he's only applied so far to VCU, ODU, and Norfolk State (I definitely think he can get into a better school than the latter).  He also apparently wants to apply to GMU and possibly Marymount.

I'll post my revised list in a bit.  Thanks for help--it's been about 20 years since I thought about college applications myself![/quote]

ODU and VCU are fine universities, but I'd be worried that they wouldn't be the easiest place for a possibly under motivated student to graduate.  They're not going to coddle/help as much as more selective schools.[/quote]

OP here.  Yeah, you may have a point. *sigh*[/quote]
