I agree Barrett itself is safe but we do know the cuts will be primarily directed to the Liberal Arts College, with this student transferring to political science and, due to the Law School goal, likely taking courses in history, philosophy, sociology. (I assume “service courses” in these depts will be maintained unlike at WVU but a transfer student will need advanced classes, which are the most likely to be affected.) The end of the negociation will likely be known in the Spring, ie., after the student has been admitted.
Therefore this student needs a balanced list that includes UA and ASU Honors (safeties for a 3.9 instate), T20 colleges, and affordable universities in-between.
