[quote=Anonymous]My DD is bright, socially and politically active. She is a leader in the FBLA and Junior Achievement, has worked a summer job at a US Embassy (thanks to her Dad), and leans towards studying the humanities, business or social sciences. She is also active in the Foreign Servuce Youth Foundatiin, volunteering her time to speak in growing up as a TCK and in a multi-lingual household.   She has taken the most rigorous program - the full IB diploma - but her grades are average at best - she struggled in the higher level math and physics.  Her GPA is a 3.3. Her test scores are good - ACT composite 30 and SAT 1850 (old scale); 1300 (new).

What might be a good mix of reach, probable and safety schools for her? We have visited a few colleges, and I think she tends to like the smaller LACs, although I think her dream school is UVA.  I think UVA is a longshot, but she might still apply and has also considered NVCC direct transfer.  What other schools that would provide a stimulating intellectual environment and help her stretch her wings and get out of her comfort zone might be interested in someone with her profile?[/quote]
