Transfer or Gap Year

If she is applying again, I’d check the Colleges that Change Lives list. Your student may want to consider schools where she might be a more geographically interesting candidate. Many of those can be generous with merit and fall under the radar. You can likely get under 40K at many which may be money well preserved for grad programs.

Also the COPLAC list. Ramapo in NJ markets itself as a public LAC. Some in other states are not too expensive for non-residents.
