[quote=Anonymous]OP -  we have five children.  One has graduated from college.  Three are in college.  One is about to leave for college.  They range from academically brilliant to just getting by.  One is a National Merit Scholar.  One graduated from high school with a 2.7 GPA.  They all have one thing in common -  They are doing great in college!  They each found a college that was perfect for them.  Don't stress about what people (especially the nuts you are surrounded by in D.C.) tell you their kids are doing.  Focus on finding the best place for your child.  Look at some solid state schools.  Encourage your daughter to visit several schools.  We turned college visits into little family vacations.  Don't rule out the smaller, less-known schools.  One of my kids ended up getting a full academic scholarship to a school I had never even heard of.

If you take the stress out of the search and let her have fun with it, I'll bet you'll be surprised by how easy the process can be. [/quote]
