[quote=Anonymous]I need help identifying a few schools for DD.

-current sophomore
-Unweighted GPA is 3.7 (but almost all classes will be honors/AP so weighted GPA is much higher)
-1350-1400 SAT (projected based on PSAT and plans for SAT prep)
Here’s the big challenge. She has absolutely no extra curriculars!

We have stressed to her over the years that she needs to do something but she is extremely introverted. She did finally agree to join a service club this year but never attemded a single meeting or event. She hasn’t played sports since elementary school. Her two hobbies are singing and writing but she won’t perform or enter literary contests. She has very severe anxiety so I can only push so far.  So what do bright kids do who have none? I don’t care that she won’t attend a top or second tier college but I would love for her to attend somewhere where she will be happy.

UMD College Park is on the list but do they take kids with no ECs? Since she is introverted, we think an SLAC might be the best fit but it sounds like they all look at ECs. Any suggestions are welcome. [/quote]
