[quote=Anonymous]I'll confess: I'm completely clueless when it comes to the college process. I didn't go through anything of the sort when I went to college, and my oldest DD is currently looking at schools. I have no idea where she falls compared to her peers, in her state or nationally. I also don't know which schools she can realistically get into and attend (I am not very familiar with US schools.) She goes to an all girls private high school and has all A's so far in hs with one B+. Her SAT score is a 2230: 680 math, 750 critical reading and 800 writing. She is a very smart girl who has always had a strong interest in the sciences. She's not a super genius, but she has an extreme love of learning and a curiosity about the world that I think is unusual in a teenage girl (her peers, although also very bright, seem more concerned with "mixers" and television than planetary science and current events). Can someone tell me a realistic goal for colleges? Public or private, how expensive, does she need to test again, etc? 
This is just for me-I am letting her choose the school ultimately (as long as it is financially viable) but I want some basic information that all the other parents seem to already know. [/quote]
