What does she mean by “prestige”…and why is this important to her.
@AustenNut is correct. Hitting the price point could be a challenge.
Will any of the public universities in NC work. Not UNC CH or NC State…but there are many others. Seems like they would be good choices if budget is important.
For places less hot in the summer…maybe head north a bit…I’m not sure you can hit your price point, but University of Delaware sounds like it could work. What about Temple?
I think if the ACT or SAT significantly improves it will open up more doors.
@AustenNut might University of Dayton be an option?
