[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NVCC's nursing program is surprisingly good - I know people who have gone there as part of a career transition and thought it prepared them well and was sufficiently academically challenging.

What's his test scores? Is he a B student because he's a slacker, and may find himself in college, or is he a B student because he may be reasonably hard-working but with some special needs or is just not the sharpest tool in the shed? For the former, GMU/JMU seems like a better place, maybe CNU as well. For the latter, Longwood.[/quote]

OP here.  They're a B student because of multiple Learning Disabilities that are well documented by an IEP.  They work incredibly hard but the FCPS 70/30 grading policy has presented challenges this year.  We will be looking at a solid B GPA when applying next year and kid wants a traditional college experience away from NOVA - so ruling out GMU, Marymount and NVCC.  Kid also doesn't want emo/artsy schools so smaller liberal arts with quirky kids won't be up their alley.  [/quote]

I have questions! LOL.  What are the emo/artsy schools you are avoiding?  Why the disdain for the quirky people out there?  They will be at every university and workplace for the rest of your DC's life.  Better to learn to coexist now rather than struggle later.  [/quote]

+1 Intolerance is not a good look.[/quote]

DP.  Tell us, oh "tolerant" ones - did your quirky kids seek out large, sporty universities?  No?  Why not?[/quote]

Seriously!!!  It's ok for a kid to want to avoid the artsy emo vive schools. This isn't about tolerance. [/quote]
