[quote=Anonymous]My student is a freshman at their reach school, which is a highly selective state flagship. They had a strong GPA in high school and lots of rigor, but were just below the reach school’s 25th percentile for SAT scores. They also have ADHD. First semester has been a big learning curve. It’s hard to tell how much is ADHD-related versus how much is that they’re in a couple of notorious STEM weed out classes. They’re finding their footing and doing well in the non-weed out classes, but it has been stressful. I do think the learning curve would have been less if they were at a small reach private school instead of a state flagship…[/quote]
