[quote=Anonymous]She is right, AP classes are stupid and busywork. Real college is so much more fun. I think your daughter will love college no matter where she goes. You can pick your own classes and friends. Agree with the PP to go with the state flagship (uva, umd, etc).

I would also consider applying for full ride scholarships like the Johnson Scholarship at Washington and Lee, for example. Definitely apply for a Echols scholarship at UVa. Even if she does not get the scholarship, she might get more aid.

Can she take college classes locally for dual enrollment? It might be paid for by the high school and she can probably go off campus for half the day. Even Community college classes are generally more interesting and rigorous than high school, and by getting college credit she will be able to skip those giant into classes at the state flagship and get into those interesting professor-led  seminars. Do well in college, build relationships with faculty, and she can go to grad school for free.[/quote]
