I know this is going to sound strange but…At Marist she would basically have the credits of a sophomore going in, so she could potentially be there for only a year and a half if she studied abroad for a year and took part in their summer trip to asia (it counts as a semester)for school of management students. She would most likely have a better gpa to qualify for some of the same programs that would be more competitive to get into from a more rigorous school. Also, because you pay the same amount of tuition that you would to your home school it sounds like a good value. A friend of mine whose daughter is considering a school in Texas would be able to go to the same program from her home school and be charged $10K more.

She does know that her education wouldn’t be comparable to Smith/Trinity if she chooses Marist. But she also knows that funds for grad school would be available to her.
