Guidance counselor said he would probably not be able to get into Salisbury or Towson, but could get into Frostburg. UMCP and UMB are completely off the table.

So what I take away from knowing this one child to whom this school is being recommended is that it can't be a strong academic school.

I thought on your earlier post (22:44) you said he had the stats. With 2.1/1600-1700, you can take UMDCP, UMBC, Pitt, UDel, VT off the table. I'd also reconsider his plan to major in engineering. Has he considered going to CC for two years and then to transfer? It will be cheaper for sure and also give him a couple more years to mature.

I don't OP was the one with a child having a 2.1 GPA etc. That was another poster talking about her step son.

Thanks for all the replies.

The other things that he find attractive is that it's one of few schools that offer PE, and they have D1 Crew which is his next love. But I get what you all are saying about reputation.

Delaware has D1 rowing as well.
