[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FOr your B average kids: did they take any honors or AP courses? Have a B student. Has one honors course per year so far. But he has severe ADHD. He does sports, several great extracurricular activities.[/quote]

This is MY DD!!  She has taken one AP course per year and at a private school. We are curious how this will play out. So nervous. Did you DS take the SAT or ACT? My DD took one and did a little below average (the ADHD is horrible when it comes to standardized testing). We won't be submitting them to any school.[/quote]

We are focusing on test optional schools only. He is horrible at standardized tests.[/quote]

Optional or not, please do not send your kid to a school where his standardized test scores are substantially lower than the average. You will not do him any favors.

And, depending on how low those scores are, carefully consider whether he'd actually benefit from a four year degree program, as opposed to something else.

Somewhat notoriously, the expansion of educational benefits in the post-9/11 GI bill caused a substantial reduction in earnings by encouraging people with low test scores to go to college. https://www.nber.org/papers/w29024[/quote]
