It’s legitimate. Do any amount of research and my stance will be corroborated- don’t take it from me, in other words.

No, like I said, it is widespread and does not discriminate by major, although some are certainly harder than others. And not every economics major, for instance, wants to get into finance. Law school is an excellent, additional example where graduates struggle immensely. 3.22 average GPA for those applying is the number I’ve seen cited. As you might expect, almost no amount of “admissions counselor understanding” is enough to compensate for this disparity. Amongst other things, they do not want to lower their average scores put on their websites.

You’re spot on about location. Our options are thus confined much more to the South. I’m from outside of Boston, so living that reality as I apply all over the map. And that’s the big catch, I did not think about it, which is why I’m trying to be helpful to this prospective student (while your comments have had the opposite effect.) I thought along the lines you initially mentioned here. And I appreciate that, because life is more than work and the LACs are a unique and worthy experience. But it’s important to think of all the contingencies.
