[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also have twins going through this process, with a much bigger divergence in terms of academic strength. [b]One only applied to, and has been admitted to, a small college in FL specifically for kids with learning disabilities[/b], while her sister has applied to a range of 10 more typical options, mostly in-state in VA. There is huge amount of FOMO happening with DD1 as the acceptances continue to roll in for DD2. Fearing things will get worse as we get into Admitted Students Days season, as I already have 2 overnight trips planned for DD2, and probably will do at least 2 more, while DD1 will just have the one trip. Trying my best to reassure her that this school is a great fit for her, and to get her to focus on that rather than what is going on with her sister, but it is certainly a challenge. Lots of love and support is the only advice I can give. Hang in there, it will all be good at the end of the day!!![/quote]

I assume you're talking about Lynn in Boca Raton. As a current South Florida resident, I would just tell you to be careful with this one. The school may cater to students with learning disabilities, but its reputation is terrible in the region. I would even say it's a punchline. People call it "Lynndergarten." I can't imagine it is viewed any better in other parts of the country (assuming people have heard of it at all). I'm not telling you this to be disparaging or to discourage you but to encourage you and your daughter to explore other options before settling for Lynn just because she's LD. There are plenty of more reputable colleges that are known for supporting students with special needs. St. Joe's in Philly comes to mind. Really any Jesuit school. I've heard Elon is good, too. Just something to consider.[/quote]
