[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've saved as if my DD is going to a top 50. I don't think that's going to happen. She has some executive functioning issues her freshman and sophomore year that we are addressing. She scores fine on tests, but she has a couple of Cs on her record because she didn't turn things in on time.

I've accepted that we will just look for mid private schools. She will drown in a large state school. I went to a good school. Once I accepted my DD won't follow my path, I'm much calmer and nag much less. She will still be successful! She still has a 3.7 GPA. In what world is that not OK?  [/quote]

OP here - I think that is perfectly okay! I am sure she will be very very successful. Different kids are looking for different things[/quote]

Oh, I know, but my inner competitor has had a hard time getting to this point. Then I have to remember to think rationally! Yes, she is smart. Yes, she has some issues. Yes, she probably won't be admitted to Northwestern, Duke or Dartmouth, lol. [/quote]

Not with multiple Cs…
