[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tough.  I’m very sorry. My son was a very average kid, academically.  It made it easier in a way.  Applied to 12 schools, 10 were state flagships.  He got into 10/12 schools and felt really good about himself for the first time in a long time (with respect to school).  He attended a large state flagship and is doing very well in college. 
My daughter is more of a 90 percentile kid. We will be steering her to similar schools as her brother, however, for a multitude of reasons including taking the damn pressure off a bit that is so woven into living in this area. [/quote]

As I’m sure I’ll be asked, his schools:

Admitted (29 ACT and 3.4 GPA) 
U of SC 
Penn State (summer program) 
Clemson (summer program) 
Alabama 
Auburn 
Indiana 
Ole Miss 
UC Boulder 
Pitt 
TCU

Not admitted:  Ohio State and U of GA [/quote]

Auburn Alumni here! My sister attended Alabama. Thanksgivings are a blast lol. Congrats to both your children and to you as well. My husband and I have two goals for out girls' college journey- avoid the pressure and make sure they graduate college debt free. We tell them good credit and zero debt is the best gift we can give them. [/quote]
