[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC will be a first generation college student. She's very intelligent, but a horrible test taker. She's taken AP English both junior and senior years as well as AP Calculus and Psychology.[b] She's struggled with those courses getting C's, but otherwise her academic record is about a B average.[/b] She's depressed because she got 3 rejection letters already from good schools and her peers normally attend schools like UMD and one of the ivies. Community College isn't an option for her as she doesn't drive and we're not near transit. She's applied to the other state schools, but she's afraid of not being as successful as her peers because of her struggle with tests and school work. Any suggestions? I don't know how to help as I'm not familiar with college at all.[/quote]

That's too bad. A better strategy would have been to drop those courses early on in the year when they proved to difficult and focused on test taking skills and SAT prep work. 
Live and learn.

I agree with a PP - get in touch with a mentoring organization to help.

Community College [b]is an option[/b][u].  Uber, taxi, carpool are all valid options for getting to school as is moving and getting a room close to a campus.

Not getting the absolute ideal arrangement for college that one desires is not an excuse or reason for someone not to go to college.[/quote]
