[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP - thank you for all the great suggestions. We have added TCNJ, Longwood, Rowan, UMBC and Duquesne to look at. I appreciate everyone's responses. [/quote]

Add American!!! Very chill student body; he would be at the top score-wise, he would get great merit, and would have awesome journalism internships (and would be correctly advised to NOT actually major in journalism). Major in a subject you would cover (Econ, policy, politics etc) and work for the paper and free lance and build a portfolio). [/quote]

Except we don't actually know that he would be in the top score-wise.

OP, I strongly suggest have your kid sign up for the test. You don't need to send it to the schools, but while everyone should avoid sending their kids to a school where the average student has a SAT score significantly higher, this is even more important for children with special circumstances. Anxiety definitely counts as one of those. Make sure he goes somewhere he is relatively smart.

Also, no debt, please. You can maybe survive on internship wages in a cutthroat winner-take-all industry until your ship comes in, but you can't do that while also paying off student loans.[/quote]

Actually, let me rephrase the "relatively smart" to "performs relatively well". That is, you want to see how he does on tests after he pays the "anxiety tax". [/quote]
