HS Senior - School Aged Parent

Applying to College
1

I have recently been asked to help a senior student in my city who is a parent of a 1 year old, but is very motivated to go to college. She is a fairly strong student with a 3.7 GPA, many AP courses and a 26 ACT. She is a minority, first generation applicant. Does anyone have any suggestions for schools. She likes Wash U, and has met with their admissions rep, Boston University and Emory. These seem to be reaches to me, but I am looking for other college choices.

I know there are people with great ideas here!

Thanks.

College search and selection form may get you a good list of answers quickly but I don’t think Emory is out of reach for her.

Look for a school with a good child development program. She will receive much needed support and affordable or free childcare in the center while she attends college. More importantly her child will receive very good care with amazing teacher-child ratios.
