[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes good stats and yes smart. I meant doesn’t enjoy studying, research. Not a hustler. But not completely lost. Just don’t see her networking for clubs or going above and beyond. Will do the work and then want to head out, work out, watch a movie etc. [/quote]

I understood what you meant, 100%. So many kids with those stats seem (from the outside, at least) to be all-in: Super motivated and ambitious and into their academics beyond the bare minimum to get the grade. Kids who will hustle in college to hustle and self-advocate and make the most of the opportunities.

Have you considered Wake Forest? It reminds me of Duke in the 1990s - all smart kids with strong academics, but a nice mix of ambitious gunners and more laid-back, social kids who aren't trying to build their resume on day one. (Also, I'd guess that private schools would have more proactive/attentive student support than larger state schools, but I don't know if that's true. It may depend on the school, as many things do.)

Anyway, check your school's Naviance to see the stats for Wake Forest accepted students from your high school. My sense is they like some high schools more than others.
