Asking on my behalf for my younger brother. Due to extenuating circumstances, he goes to an alternative school in NY and on an IEP, and will be graduating in January. After talking with him a few times, he is pretty motivated by the idea of going to a community college (WCC) first (gives him a fresh late academically too) before transferring to a 4-year school (potentially doing an Exploring Transfer program in between).
When it comes to which 4-year schools, he is still unsure of where to start looking. I went to Vassar (thus am I am biased towards LACs), and my other brother goes to SUNY Cortland, so he has two very different points of reference (and its been a minute since I’ve gone through the whole college app process).
He definitely seems most passionate about Environmentalism (justice and policy, not so much science) without a doubt, and also has a passion for art. Our only other qualifiers as of right now is great financial aid is a must, preferably in NY or in the Northeast, if possible with good relationships with CCs/transfer students.
Any suggestions would be great! And lmk if there are any questions I should pose to him to help make this process easier.
You should ask him to create an account to post his own questions. For many reasons, not least of which is privacy, “asking for a friend” posts aren’t allowed. Closing
