A good friend’s child with Ehlers Danlos syndrome (with lots of POTS like symptoms) had a fantastic experience at Franklin and Marshall College in PA. The student was able to get short term medical “leave” whenever symptoms flared up enough to interfere with schoolwork, and most professors were very accommodating in scheduling make up of missed work (occasionally needed to contact dean to intervene with a professor, but rarely).

They chose F and M partly because of its compact size, and also it is relatively flat, so it helped with the physical challenge of just getting to class.

The academic experience there was great, too, with good internship opportunities, great professors, and academically challenging for a high stats student ( even higher than your D).

There is also decent access to healthcare in the Lancaster area.
