[quote=Anonymous]My DD is a senior with some similarities. She has several LDs, a lower SAT score than your daughter, but a 3.1 GPA and a couple AP classes. She has a job and drives. She really wants to go to a  4-year college, and I think in some respects a private LAC is the best choice with small classes and more personal attention.

She has has been accepted to 2 with some merit aid, but they are still more expensive than state schools. She has also gotten into a couple state schools as well. I am surprised and grateful she has a range of choices because I wasn't sure that would happen.

I think the main difference between our daughters is motivation. Mine is really focused on having a career working with children and living on a campus. She might prefer to clean gutters to reading Edith Wharton, but she sees getting through school as a means to pursuing her goals as an adult. That's why a 4-year school might make more sense for her than your DD.

It's a hard decision and a stressful time. I hope things work out for best for her.
