[quote=Anonymous]My rising senior has a 4.37 weighted GPA, 3.81 unweighted. DC has taken both AP and honors classes, and is involved in school activities (such as National Honor Society, English and Spanish Honor Societies, editor for school newspaper, student ambassador, plays a varsity sport and plays same sport year round on a travel team). However, DC has always struggled with standardized tests. I'm talking 1030 SAT after taking a Kaplan course with about 6 students in the class. Math has always been a struggle (will take pre calc as a 12th grade student). Although, with the help of a regular tutor and meeting with instructors often, DC has earned either an A or B in every math class since 9th grade. DC loves all things English, Journalism, and writing.

With college approaching, DC would love to pursue something in the field of Journalism. DC would also like to be close to home (MD). Money is a concern for sure. With incredibly low SAT scores, what advice do you have for us? The school counselor is no help at all. [/quote]
