[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While your information may have some validity, the approach stinks.  Realistic encouragement is expected but to consistently downplay this child is aggregious.  This child does not appear unintelligent and does NOT deserve the mental beat down he is getting.

Approach is everything.  OP ignores your advice at his own peril.  OP says and thinks English is bullshit.  OP wastes his time on DCUM and CC.  OP does not appear to be as conscientious as posters kids who got into top schools but we don't want to be accused of bragging by mentioning it.

If I were OP, I would stay as far from DCUM as possible and go directly to college admissions offices and college counselors for advice.  S[he] deserves more support and unbiased advice than found here.

OP, you are not in peril nor will you be relegated to a matchbook college.  There is some positive advice here but use it discriminately.  The smart kid reaches out (like you did) for information.  You WILL be successful and you WILL find your niche wherever you accepted.  Please DO NOT let people discourage you from applying where you want.  Do your best to make your dreams come true.[/quote]Hi, I came back after watching this debate from afar and need to step in.  I appreciate your support as I was feeling a bit apprehensive about myself and achievements after reading some of these comments.  Thank you for not assuming I was dumb and unmotivated.  My parent has always encouraged me to work harder on the B+.  By the way, even though we don't have a great deal of money, my mom does not curse at me.  I think all of my courses are important, not just the ones I like.  You folks need to know that at least.

I know how hard it is to get into top schools and what it takes.  I thank the folks who are so supportive.  Again, I was feeling dejected regardless of my awards and accomplishments.  I am good in math and science and no one can say anything to lessen that.  Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the support.  You don't know how much this means to me.  Although I might not be the most prolific writer. I think I have made my point.  DCUM is not for me.[/quote]
