[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to 4-year graduation rate, I would look at freshman/first year retention rate - or how many students return after their first year. I would look at their first-year/freshman-year curriculum and the support they have in place for student success. Basically if your student goes there, what will that first year be like for them.

+1 They can have better outcomes for some students than a community college because you are part of the on campus community and I think that can be helpful in peer influence and access to support resources.

In VA, [b]both GMU and VCU have overall high admit rates (will be lower for some majors) but also high retention rates[/b]. In MD, a couple smaller schools with high admit rates/high retention are McDaniel (has a reputation of having good supports for students with learning disabilities) and Loyola Maryland.

GMU is always growing as well.  It was nonstop construction when my daughter went there.  Now there are four other campuses in Virginia and a fifth in South Korea.  Be sure to tour the high tech campus in Prince Georges County.  State of the art and amazing.  My DC took computer classes there[/quote]

Wait, is this like UVA Wise??[/quote]
