[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just regular good ole kids. Not all APs. Not championship athletes. Didn't found a nonprofit. Some As, some Bs, maybe even a C or two!
Just enjoying life and being a teenager.
Reading this board, these kids must be dinosaurs. But I know it's not true! So parents of regular kids, check in here and tell me about their (average, run of the mill, non-flashy even!) college plans!!!!

*Here*!

I'm always paranoid about my neighbors reading my posts. So, I'll give you a reasonable facsimile. All three kids had GPAs in the low to mid 3's. One had an SAT score of 1320, the others were in the low 1200s. They picked: non-flagship state college; Jesuit college; different non-flagship state college.

They applied to a mix of public and private, and all got good merit aid -- the one with the best SAT scores got REALLY good merit aid from private schools.

So far, they've had a smooth path in college. Grades rose a bit and they are well on their way.
