[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Her best friend though is two months older than her, yet is a year after her in school (parents held her based on a number of reasons) and is at a much more selective college and is more advanced and solid in her academics from that year of maturity.

I'm the OP. I'm glad that redshirting helped your daughter's friend. However, I have learning disabilities, so being an academic superstar, redshirted or not, was never in the cards for me. I wasn't going to be a great student regardless of when I started school. So in my case, holding me back was pointless.[/quote]

OP,
This whole thread is high school thinking.  Frankly, it’s middle school thinking.
In college and as an adult you learn it’s more important what YOU think about yourself than what others think.

If you keep doing things like choosing colleges based on a couple weeks of cutoff date, you’re going to have a very very unhappy life.  
Focus on what’s important, don’t sweat the small stuff.  And grow up.[/quote]
