[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm feeling quietly mournful on behalf of my son. My DS is dyslexic. School is hard for him. He gets As and Bs in a mix of AP-Honors/College Prep courses. He works his butt off.  Nothing comes easy.
I feel like it's just the All-AP, All-A kids who get into top schools these days. Maybe it's just this board. My kid isn't "average": [b]He's super funny, clever in art and video editing[/b], but he will never be the kid who yearns to pen a 10-page essay on Chaucer, sails through Spanish, or who takes Advanced Calculus II. And it feels as though his future options will be limited for this reason. 
I just don't know where to go or where to turn. This is a first-world issue. I know that there are thousands of colleges out there. But the ones that seem to convey solid outcomes, a plugged-in network, an upwardly mobile career? It feels as though this is out of reach. Just venting here. I am sure most on this board cannot relate. But maybe some can. [/quote]

Why do you care about "top" schools then? If he's good at art and video editing he should be looking at colleges that are good for people in art and video editing. That's probably not Harvard.[/quote]

Which are schools like Northwestern, USC, UCLA, and even Syracuse which demand top grades in top classes. So...yeah.[/quote]
