[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better than she would have at a "higher-ranked" college. She's crushing her classes, doing killer research with her professor, which will turn into a stellar senior thesis. She has great recommendations lined up for grad school and has enjoyed her time immensely at her low-stress, less competative, "lower-ranked" college. Plus, she much prefers the company of the down-to-earth students as opposed to the privileged snobs she'd encounter at a "highr-ranked" school.[/quote]

Yes, thank you. this is the outcome I seek, but will it happen?

It is solely up to your daughter. It really doesn’t sound like she currently has a great attitude in high school. If she goes to what she perceives to be a lower ranked college and has the same attitude, then no it will not happen. If she goes to lower ranked college and decides to take advantage of all the opportunities presented to her for being the big fish in the little pond, then yes it will happen.

Only she can decide her fate. Does she realize that?[/quote]
