[quote=Anonymous]I was profoundly gifted and I struggled HARD in college. I had never learned how to learn and study and I found out I have ADD - but my mom had basically set up an environment where I was functioning well due to having a schedule, regular sleep, lots of physical activity, etc. I didn’t know how to monitor my ADD and take care of myself to function without meds until my late 20s. I had a generous scholarship to a top engineering school and lost it my junior year when my grades dipped below a 3.0 for a semester. It all turned out ok. But I would not count on any scholarships or aid. I would save the same for all 3 kids. I would focus more on developing good work ethic, problem solving skills and study habits than worry about the money part. [/quote]
