<p>D loved University of Scranton. ( It wasn’t a real safety, but more of a low match.)
We just sent the deposit. ;)</p>
<p>It just seems like a great fit for her, and a place where she will be comfortable and thrive… They too have had a lot of academic success stories. (Fullbright scholars, USA Academic Team, etc.)</p>
<p>Much of the student success may be due to the comfortable environment, caring professors, and being put in a situation that encourages the kids to excel. The school has small classes, highly qualified professors, good resources, etc.</p>
<p>She visited many schools, and this was the one for many reasons. The fact that they wanted her (partial scholarship) and their constant (albeit very professional) courting helped. She clearly wanted a school that wanted her. And so did we.</p>
<p>D could care less that many of the kids in her class have never heard of it. In fact, she will be the first kid from her high school ever to attend.</p>
