[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with Roanoke and McDaniel. Also try Washington College (MD), Loyola (MD), Goucher (MD), Catholic (DC), Hood College (MD), Stevenson (MD), Susquehannah (PA), Salsibury (MD). Additionally, look at Richard Bland of William and Mary as a good residential two year option that folds nicely into a 4 year college. GOOD LUCK![/quote]

Sorry, but with the exception of Catholic U and maybe Loyola, most of these schools blow a hairy one. With a 1380 SAT, the OP's kid can do better, even factoring in his poor GPA.

For anyone, OP or otherwise, with a kid interested in a school like the ones above, I would look long and hard at the school's financials, especially in a post-covid world. Many of these places won't survive the next decade, let alone the next 50 years. Having a degree from a defunct institution is a major disadvantage in advancing one's career, and in picking up the babes at cocktail parties in the DMV.

The aforementioned Rollins College, with an endowment near $400m, isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The OP's kid has options, despite what the perfectionist posse at DCUM may believe. No reason to choose one with such a tenuous future.[/quote]
