[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the good faith commenters. I don't mind direct feedback.

My DD is at a competitive pubic HS. I assume her CCO won't check the "most rigorous" box as her peer group all takes more APs in STEM.

DD is genuine undecided for her major. Her favorite subject is English but she doesn't think that will be a productive major. Math is her kryptonite but she's worked hard with a tutor to keep up with the non-AP level curriculum and will complete calculus next year. But she excels at writing and analyzing.

She is hard-working. 2 varsity sports all 4 years plus the newspaper for 3 years. All 5's on AP tests including Spanish and humanities.[/quote]

Your daughter sounds a lot like mine - very talented in the humanities, not so in math.  And her language is French, through AP, as well as all APs in other subjects.  She didn't take calculus at all - opted for Stats (non-AP).  She was admitted into four T50 schools.  Don't let the fearmongers intimidate you.  The key is what she plans to major in.  [/quote]

Thank you and congrats to your DD! Do you mind sharing which 4 schools admitted her or which school she ultimately chose? Our girls sound similar and we're working to solidify DC's list over the next few months.[/quote]
