[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also- someone earlier in the thread said her stats were too low for Conn College.  I have a lower GPA senior and our independent college counselor encouraged us to apply.  A 3.8 as a junior who did a part of their HS abroad is a very interesting student for many schools to consider.
Please do not get hung up on GPA - telling the story of the journey is as important as the #s. [/quote] Not many people submit test scores to Conn. I had extensive discussions with them about LD support last year and it sounded good but rigorous. For example, they assign students to a weekly meeting with a professional support person to help them stay on track rather than giving extensions to LD students. They don’t say it, but I am guessing they have a fair number of very  bright students with LD. Just be aware that it has an intellectual vibe and is a serious school in spite of being a very supportive environment. [/quote]

This is great to know! DD does best with a weekly check in for her academic plan and then she uses body doubling/ accountability partner with friends to study.  I have been wondering how she could use those tools at school.[/quote] Caviat: This was last year. Of course you would want to talk to the disability office yourself to confirm that they have the same this year and it would meet your DCs needs. [/quote]
