[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started apps to 8, completed 6, was admitted to 4

Nothing was a given - she was on the edge of 4 year vs community college. We were surprised by a state school not offering her direct admission-they offered her a bridge program instead which was pointless as the particular school did not offer housing as part of the program.

She wound up at a small school in MA that is known for its programs for neurodivergent kids. Despite a rocky first month, she seems to be doing well now. It seems like her perfect fit :)[/quote]

Would love to hear more about this college.

Glad it's going well![/quote]

I will happily talk about it :) I have mentioned it on the board before. It’s called Dean College. Tiny school in Franklin, MA. Well known for both their services for kids with learning differences AND their performing arts departments, which is why it is a lovely fit for my ADHD dancer. She struggled so much in traditional huge high school post Covid-just never got the hang of it. We really worried about whether she would actually graduate, quite honestly. She managed to squeak through and we took a leap of faith sending her. We know she is going to class, we know she is meeting with her EF coach/advisor person, she claims to be getting ok grades. Yes, she needs some coddling, which we are paying for and are ok with. But she likes her classes and seems excited about what she is learning. She’s currently a dance major, but also  adding on exercise science as either a double or dual major (they offer AA degrees, as they started as a junior college). They have classes that are required for everyone which are career focused, and they require at least one internship for all students. They know and cater to the students they attract. Kind of a niche school, but as I said, it is what my daughter needed.[/quote]
