[quote=Anonymous]I would get her a neuropsych evaluation ASAP.  She may have a learning disability or slow processing.  If she does, she can qualify for extended time on standardized tests.  I would also have her take a practice SAT somewhere and see how she does.  There are many test optional schools out there.  There is a service I heard of for kids with learning challenges called CCC that helps families find colleges that are a good fit: http://www.collegeld.com/  The service is not cheap but can make the difference between going to college and not.  Also I second community college as a good option.  Make sure you tap into the learning support services there as I suspect your DD may have some issues that impede her success.  In any case, psychoeducational eval will determine if she needs some additional support.  Community college with a B average is often a direct path to various colleges (not just state)--you can look up your local CC and see where it feeds.  That's a great way to go.  Your daughter needs support.[/quote]
