| applicantsmom, don't worry so much about the large number of applications from instate. Many of the FL kids apply because it's a great school academically and they get to use their Bright Futures scholarships there. Ultimately, many of those FL kids opt either for other FL schools or go out of state when they realize they want a more traditional school. If your son is applying to SLC and Bard, then it's likely that New College would be a good fit. There are many kids there from other states and countries.
It's hard to beat the great bargain that New College is...great profs and a personalized curriculum. Sarasota is even growing on us and we find more interesting things about it everytime we visit. My older daughter is a first year and it's a great place for her. Now, my younger daughter is trying to decide between joining her sister there next year or going to one of the other schools she was accepted at. It's a very difficult decision for her.
To all those planning or thinking about going next year, I'm happy to try to answer questions or ask my daugher if I don't know the answer. |
