[quote=Anonymous]I have a college student with a similar profile. Attending a good and rigorous, but not top, college. (FWIW, we had difficulty finding "reach" schools that felt like a good fit given her profile, which was fine). She's doing a full course load including one STEM lab course that's been a challenge for her. It's going well so far. She works hard, but hasn't yet been completely overwhelmed.

Four classes are def easier for an ADD kid to focus on than the 6 of h.s., which helps, and PP is right that there is a lot of free time during the day that wasn't there in high school. She makes a point to go to the library between/after classes. If she were saving all the work for after dinner, it would be a lot harder.

She did a gap year, including a semester program that gave her credits for 3 courses...we figure that buys her a little cushion for very difficult semesters. But PP is also right that there are requirements for merit aid, etc., so it's a cushion not an alternative. [/quote]
