[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD is having some academic problems and so will not be going to a selective college, most likely. She is at a competitive HS with a lot of high achievers. She was doing well until last year. I know it's petty of me but it's a little hard to hear about her classmates who are getting into selective schools knowing she will probably not get in anywhere, except maybe one of her safeties, if she's lucky. I feel bad for her. I'm happy for her classmates, but I don't really like hearing about it all because it's kind of painful because of her lost potential. Anyone in the same boat?[/quote]

All is not lost.  I was the same way in HS.  I almost flunked out of the mediocre state school I managed to get into. At some point I stumbled on a major I liked, turned my performance in school around, got a full ride to a very good grad program and have had a very successful career.  Not getting into a selective university right out of HS isn't the kiss of death. [/quote]
