[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she a POC? Rice and WashU offer a few huge scholarships—I think 50%—but most are diversity focused.  There are also private scholarships she can apply for.

While it certainly won’t hurt for her to try to get one of the tiny number of big scholarships offered by top schools, I’d suggest that you help her understand that her undergrad school is not going to change the course of her life. If she excels wherever she ends up, she’ll be in a great position to attend a prestigious grad school if she wants, though by that stage kids tend to realize it was silly to obsess about prestige in the first place.

She is not. It’s not that she is being difficult, it’s because she has worked really hard and feels so dejected that her friends can either get financial aid or wealthy parents to pay and there is nothing she can do to attend colleges she loves. Yes, she’ll survive but it’s heart breaking to see her swollen eyes. This pandemic has been enough stress for everyone.[/quote]
