[quote=Anonymous]OP, your daughter will be just fine at a mid-range state school somewhere. Her scores are not especially high, but they're not in the toilet, either. She doesn't need to go in the military or to community college. She is a solid, average student. Thousands of kids get into schools with those grades and those scores, graduate and do just fine.

There are worlds of advice and lists of schools out there for solid "B" students.

This list has a ton of good state schools for her:

This list has a ton of good liberal arts schools for her:

If you go through the schools on the list, I'm sure you can find some schools that are the right size, have her major, and are in the right score range.

I highly recommend small liberal arts schools for students who are solid, but need some space and time to breathe and grow as students. Small campuses with community of learners encourage a lot of intellectual development in a non-competitive setting. They do an excellent job growing students as people and scholars. If I were going to pick just a few schools to look at, I would look at these:

Augustana College (IL)
Cornell College (IL)
Agnes Scott College (GA)
Siena College (NY)
Sewanee (TN)
