[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend says her daughter really does want to attend a four-year, but struggled to narrow down a list and kept procrastinating. She didn’t ask for help, pushed things off, and then felt too lazy to get through essays. Friend also says the bigger issue is that the kid is generally very, very lazy, which they’re trying to figure out.

She’s a solid student —  around a 3.8UW / ~4.2 W, SAT 1500, with all honors/7 APs, decent but not standout ECs. SLACS seem appealing to her, so Reed is a great option. She’s also a quite introverted kid. Major is Econ.[/quote]

That’s not just lazy…that’s some kind of underlying issue like ADHD.

Regardless your friend is at best stupid and at worst a horrible parent to have let this happen. I don’t know that gap year is good advice here because it sounds like the girl will end up doing nothing and not even applying next year.

If your friend actually gives any inkling of a s—, have her enroll in community college, figure out her issues, then transfer.[/quote]
