[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the person who say schools 50-150.  Are you nuts?  Schools around 50 are not even remotely a chance.[/quote]

clueless[/quote]

I am that poster and we had a good experience.  my DC, who has LDs and had mostly Cs at the beginning of HS but did better later, was accepted at 3 top 50 liberal arts schools.  Only denied at a top 20.  DC is not an athlete so no hook there.  It is important to find an appropriate school where the op's child can thrive. My DC has done well in college so far, with accommodations. [/quote]

I should add that my DC took no APs and was excused from foreign language.  That ruled out schools that require 4 years of foreign language (W&M, U of Richmond are two)  but those aren't schools that would have been good fits anyway. [/quote]

Your child and her child are not the same child - do not say she is nuts and do not say they do not have a remote chance. You do not know that.

BTW - sign language is considered a language and LD kids are encouraged to learn that since language is what they struggle with. I agree with the person that suggested to seek a specialist to help with this journey but to just say - there is no chance is really not true or helpful.

Wow. I think you completely misinterpreted my post. First, I am the poster who suggested the LD consultant. Second, I was responding to the people who were saying that my suggestion to look at the 50th and below was "clueless ". I indicated that in fact my DC with middling grades and no APs WAS admitted to several top 50 LACs.   I have no idea whether the OPs daughter has language issues. I know some LD kids who are great at languages. Mine is not so I provided that example only as an indication of a limitation my DC had. It was really not a big deal.

Perhaps you would be willing to share your college application experience with your LD kid?  Thatight be more helpful to the OP than criticizing our experience, which I want to emphasize again was very positive. [/quote]

My bad - I did misinterpret your post.[/quote]
