[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We are visiting the schools. We are on a visit to one of these schools now and this is when she finally confessed how she feels, in tears.

[b]For those who are telling us she should have worked harder, thanks for that unhelpful advice[/b]. She had a rough freshman year grades-wise and it’s been hard to recover. She knows it too. [/quote]

My DS is in the same position, and people act like it's catching. Your DD has some good choices (as does my DS). While I think my DS could have worked harder in HS, I also think that he doesn't want to be in that rat race, and the schools that he got into are better choices [i]for him[/i][b] than higher ranked schools.

It's hard for our kids to leave home. Just keep encouraging your DD. Good luck to you both![/quote]

Colleges aren't going to hold a "rough freshman year grades-wise" against any student who bounces back.  [/quote]

Yeah, not true.

My kid's rough year was sophomore year. He was dealing with depression and completely fell apart academically. He definitely paid the price in terms of GPA and got rejected from some large schools that probably don't look too far beyond GPA. But, he's doing well mentally, and we are grateful. [/quote]
