<p>Locke - Swing by Georgia College in Milledgeville sometime. It's Georgia's version of a private Wake / Mercer-type campus at a state price. It's very similar in size and scope to Mercer, but you'd be tuition-free there and likely qualify for merit aid as well. 80% of those who come for a tour apply for admission, which is getting harder and harder with record applications coming in each year.</p>
