[quote=Anonymous]Professor here. In this economic climate with Higher Ed in crisis you need to look at the financial health of the smaller colleges you’ll be applying to: many will be suffering. Also, Fall 21 is likely to be somewhat hybrid, so think about how that would affect your kid and their issues and look for schools that have handled the pandemic in a way that suits your child. Talk to admissions about mentor shop and orientation. Ask to connect with a department or two your kid is interested in. If they truly have no interest and are not ready to self motivate (this is harder with remote learning) of consider community college for a year. I realize it’s not desirable for you but it often positions kids like yours to succeed, whether that means they mature/acclimate OR they find an alternate vocational path, which also is honorable. MC and NOVA are excellent schools, and as a full pay family, surely you’d be able to put your kid in an apartment if that is important.

Look at St. Mary’s in MD, Marymount in Arlington, and McDaniel.
