<p>If this student lives in the North she might want to look at U of the South. There was an article in either The Baltimore Sun or Wash Post recently about how they are recruiting students from the north.
There are many very good colleges that are not talked about much on this site. I believe many of them would not consider this student “average.” I wish her the best of luck.</p>
