<p>Hey Y'all~</p>
<p>I can't believe I'm asking for advice again! Didn't I just do this last year?? <em>lol</em> (And will be again for my junior daughter soon!)</p>
<p>Anyway, last week I was at the high school that my son attended and my daughters now attend, and I happened to run into the chemistry teacher who was the major provider of letters of rec. for my son. He has a senior daughter who is a very good student, and I asked him what her college plans were for next year. He said that he wasn't sure....he seemed to be rather overwhelmed by the whole process (I KNOW that feeling!). Apparently, they are not sure where to start and haven't even looked into school selection yet.</p>
<p>I offered to help them out. They are wonderful people, and I owe them a serious debt of gratitude for all that the teacher put into my son's process last year. I am very worried, though, that her options may be seriously limited by the lateness of her apps. </p>
<p>I talked to the gal this evening, and she is interested in the fields of education or nursing. </p>
<p>Her father is a high school chem teacher, and her mother does daycare, I believe. They would definitely be prime candidates for need-based aid. But, she is also a great candidate for some merit aid. In addition, I would love to hear about schools which may be actively seeking Hispanic female applicants.</p>
<p>SO, I was wondering if some of you might have suggestions for interesting schools with deadlines AFTER Jan 1 (the later, the better) which have strong programs in nursing and education. She will consider all types of schools, but I think she would love a smaller school, perhaps a LAC (yay! My chance to look closely at LACs!)</p>
<p>I don't have her whole resume yet, but the stats I know are:</p>
<p>ACT: 29
GPA: UW: 4.0
She plays soccer and volleyball (not recruitable)
Hispanic female from a small town in Kansas
NHS and various clubs</p>
<p>Sorry, it's not much to go on, but I just wanted to get the ball rolling!</p>
<p>Thanks so much! ~berurah</p>
