Match me w/ safeties that D24 can get excited about! Northeast/Mid Atlantic [PA resident, 4.0 GPA, 1360 SAT; psychology + education]

My bad. Yes chestertown MD. It’s just on the Delaware side of the bay :slight_smile: Not good for OP. Too isolated. Not been there but seems to be. I guess not horribly far from life but not day to day adjacent although others would better know.

I think College of NJ and Towson University in Maryland could be likelies. Both are known for the strength of their education major.

I also thought it meet the requirements. It is a great school and there is merit and I really thought the faculty and staff really cared about the students

What about Scranton? I think your D will be admitted to many on the list but as you asked for a safety option, that is one that I did not see mentioned.

Also maybe West Chester?

A few people mentioned Salisbury - it should definitely be given a look. Psychology is a big major there, and they have a very highly regarded Education school. Not in a tiny town, though you’ll go through a lot of farm fields on the way there (!), and close to Ocean City. Two hours from Philly on a good traffic day.

If you do check it out, check out the Honors Program. And don’t be fooled by average stats - Salisbury was the number one producer of Fulbright scholars of any MA level university in the US last year. They do a great job of working with students to maximize their talents.

U hartford has a graduate psych program, so undergrad psych is pretty good there. They would give a ton of merit money for a student like her.

Wesleyan, if the money works.
