Haha I figured I’d apply to a wide range because after visiting colleges my favorites were Florida State, Davidson, and Tulane (in that order) and those are not at all similar schools. I’ll coincidentally be in the area of two colleges on this list next week and am considering doing a quick visit or two to further discern this.
Could you elaborate on these? I’ve never heard of either, and Naviance has students with lower GPA (although presumably, with a much more forgiving budget) getting in.
This is complicated - in short, yes, I have significant need if the finances of a non-custodial parent aren’t considered (FASFA-only schools). But my custodial parent just got a job paying significantly more and I’m not sure how that would affect financial aid down the line in college - so I think it’d be easier to chase merit
The panhandle is nicer than you would expect but it is called Tallanasty for a reason😂 Arkansas from what I’ve heard so far does sound like everything I’m looking for and was strongly recommended by my counselor. For sure applying there.
Thank you so much for the input!
