[quote=Anonymous]DD is a senior this year. She's a relatively smart girl with a B average, but she's not good at standardized testing. After several attempts with the SAT and ACT she could only score 540M/500V and 23 composite ACT. Even AP's were a struggle for her, as she obtained her first C's of her high school career. She loves learning for the sake of it, but I have noticed that she tends to breakdown when subjects become challenging for her as made evident in her performance in her AP classes last year. Her counselor suggested that she shoot for state schools like Towson and Salisbury. She cried at home while talking with DH and I because in her words, she's an idiot and feels like a failure. She says her peers are applying to better colleges and she's trying as hard as she can. I am afraid that things will not turn out well for her because she's always saying that she's not good enough for anything. [/quote]
