[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continuing to laugh at the responses to this thread.  Poster after poster insisting she was a zero.  What are you doing, then, on a college admissions forum on DCUM, the most Type A website in the DMV?

By OP's definition I was at least a 4.5 for all four of my kids, each of whom were very different people.  I had one who barely graduated high school, yet got a 780 verbal on the SAT.  We were uber involved in finding a college that would accept her after she took a gap year.

I had two others who were smart and well-rounded and had good records and test scores but weren't the intellectual type and didn't obsess over colleges and would have been happy in any good school.  We suggested a few places that wouldn't have considered themselves as safeties or alternatives to schools they had found themselves, looked over their applications and essays and offered suggestions, etc.  And we had another kid who was very high achieving and headstrong who had concrete ideas for where she wanted to go and do.  She floated those ideas by us and we gave our reactions -- including financial ones -- but in the end she did what she was going to do.

All four qualify as 4.5 or above by OP's definition.  By OP's definition, a zero is when your kid says to you in the August after high school graduation "oh, by the way, I'm going to X college next week -- can you give me a ride?"[/quote]

If all four of your kids are done with the process and in school why are you still here?   :?: [/quote]

Such a lame response.  What's it to you?[/quote]

NP. Not a lame response by that poster, but yours certainly is pathetic. Answer the question or stop trolling those of us who are in the thick of it.

OP, I’d say DH and I are 2.5 but we do have an excellent college counselor at DC’s school.[/quote]
