[quote=Anonymous] 1. Gifted does not equal stellar student. The former is a description of cognitive reasoning, the latter describes actual achievement and productivity. To get from one to the other, you need executive functioning skills and drive beyond what an IQ test can measure. Is she perhaps twice exceptional, OP? 2. Top colleges give financial aid below certain incomes and assets. Look into it. 3. How many AP classes and does she have 4s and 5s? If it's a 3.88 gpa with regular or Honors classes, she might not even qualify for her state flagship, some of whom are getting rather selective. Check Naviance and grades/test scores of this year's admitted students (things move quickly, so don't go by previous years' numbers for admitted students). [/quote]
