[quote=Anonymous][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…

Kids with Cs can get into competitive schools.  If it was early in high school, you kids has something interesting to AOs (exceptional talent), and your kid's grades recovered (4.0 UW subsequent years), some schools will take a chance.
