[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Story behind the grades - [b]she took hard math and science to challenge herself, plus had to deal with a serious illness in the family.[/b] It's not as if she were slacking. I don't expect straight As - and neither did our school psychologist. Believes the pressure is unhealthy and something has to give, so if that means a hard earned C - and we have many teachers in our school who do not believe in grade inflation - so be it. [/quote] I would definitely have her find a way to work both of these things into her application essays. The fact that Oberlin is interested in her is a good sign. Her tests,scores & GPA in & of themselves hardly make her a shoe-in there so the fact that they are courting her gives credence to the belief that SLACs are more likely to look at the "whole" applicant & give significant weight to things such as impressive extracurricular activities/achievements ( & some of hers definitely call into that category).[/quote]
