She applied and was accepted to two women’s colleges, Agnes Scott and Hollins. I loved both of them. Really great programs.
She also applied to a couple of our state schools (we are in NC), UNC-Asheville and UNC-Greensboro. They are both more artsy and she’s that kind of kid.
She ended up falling in love with Warren Wilson College, which is part of the federal work college program. It’s very small, but she found her people there.
Other schools we/she considered were Appalachian State (she felt like she knew too many people who go there), Virginia Commonwealth University (we both loved Richmond), Knox College (almost visited), thought about Guilford or Earlham, maybe Goucher, but we visited WWC pretty early on and she dismissed the others.
The Parents of the HS Class of 2022- 3.0-3.4 thread has a lot of great suggestions too.
