[quote=Anonymous]"My issue is a little different - my junior DD is friends with a group of very high achievers. DD, however, is not one. She is a very average student, though she does study hard. Academics just don’t come as easy to her as they do to her friends. I’m dreading the whole college comparison/scores and GPA discussion that I know kids have around application time. She’s already told me how inadequate she feels in this arena. I’ve told her not to share her stats with anyone, even her close friends. It’s going to be awful when all her friends get into top schools and she... doesn’t. Just a vent - I know there’s nothing to be done."

My son was just like your daughter.  He is the only one of the group that got into their reach school.

He didn't have to tell them his GPA, they already basically knew that and his class rigor.  His SAT score matched and that is what he told them, without mentioning a number.

His friends were ecstatic for him because they had known him for 8 or 10 or 12 years and knew where he had come from.

It didn't matter that his reach was their safety.  In the end it meant that part of the group could go to college together.[/quote]
