[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Acceptance into one of the top universities is a crap shoot at the level both of the girls are at anyway, OP.[/b] They could both lose the spot because Harvard needs a catcher for the baseball team or the Princeton orchestra needs an oboe player. As far as your DD not being able to catch up in AP classes to beat the new girl for valedictorian - those are the breaks. Nothing anyone can really do about it. There is no "fair" in life and the sooner DD accepts this the happier she will be. [/quote] This is true! And you don't realize how unimportant being valedictorian in high school is until you get to one of those top schools and virtually every other person was valedictorian of their high school class. Have DD keep up her excellent academic work and add an unusual hobby or interest. I heard of one kid who got into all of his top picks (yes he had the grades, scores, sports and community service) but he also played the bag pipes! [/quote]
