[quote=Anonymous]My DD attends a school that would make OP wrinkle her nose. However, she landed a prestigious internship. Her visual disability meant she had to work her tail off to take honors classes, engage in a rigorous major, and earn good grades. She also has learning disabilities and the combo means she’s worked doubly hard every day since about 2nd grade. She does a great job applying her experiences during interviews and employers see that she has the grades, but she also has tenacity, communication skills, and grit. So, don’t assume kids at “lesser” schools don’t work hard. They often bring a lot to the table that’s not always obvious. Maybe help your child reflect on how they can market themselves beyond “I attend XYZ Univ, therefore I’m more worthy” [/quote]
