If she's diligent but not that sharp, she should study something vocational. If she's lazy, she should enlist (and go to college when she's ready for it). B- HS students need something other than a dumbed down version of the same college education served up to A/B+ students.

She might check out Salem College, which is a small women's college. If she's willing to go to a regional women's college, they often have slightly lower admission requirements (particularly if she can show that she has potential not reflected in her grades), and they tend to give generous aid.

All are reasonable suggestions and last year St. Mary's ran short on students so might be especially attractive this year. Just know that for some of the more regional schools (Frostburg), their cache is going to be mostly local, worth thinking about before one chooses a school. Towson likely a better choice if wanting to stay in Baltimore/DC area, though it might be harder to get into. Community College can be an excellent choice for the first two years if your student is motivated, not so good if lack motivation as many students get lost in the shuffle there.

Sorry, I didn't see the minus after the B. These might be harder for a B- student to get into.

Send them to community college for two years to cleanup their act, then they can transfer to a 4 year college if they turn it around.

Radford and ODU maybe. Not VCU and especially not CNU. Not now, anyway.

Salisbury or Frostburg, maybe Towson.

WVU is a relatively inexpensive choice out of state, and can offer the big school, football experience for a kid who can't make it at College Park.

MD - so obviously the state schools are on my radar. Trying to help a middle of the road student (without a fat budget) identify some schools to add where she can get a good education, but are reasonable for her ability and effort level.
