We are looking at mostly private colleges in Maryland, PA, NY. We would like to visit schools with the following:
- Cost per year lower than $55,000, including room and board. So merit scholarships are of interest
Stats:
Attends competitive Maryland public high school in Montgomery County
Fits in with creative, fun, smart, laid back, hard working students
GPA: 3.8 UW, 4.5 W 6 AP courses 2 College Credit courses ( grade: A in both) SAT: Combined 1380, will retake at end of the month Good ECs: 2 varsity sports (tennis, poms), Captain of Forensics (Speech/Drama), County awards in Forensics, Actress/Dancer Summer Theater productions Would probably not qualify for any financial aid Would like LAC colleges with Business, Computer Science and Engineering, if possible Would like medium size campus and student population between 3000-10,000. I Isn't interested in drinking. Enjoys healthy/fun environment for socializing. Probably won't pledge a sorority, if it takes too much of her time.
Our list inludes: Loyola University Maryland, Villa Nova, Bucknell University, University of Rochester, Ithaca College, University of Maryland College Park (only public university, but drawback is large size)
Any first hand experience at these schools? Do you think we should consider other schools to visit?
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
