Waiting on a few more schools (2 VA publics, 1 PA public and a small MA private) and has 1 more private to apply to. Still a fight to the finish line for HS, but at least she does have some 4 year options.

Congratulations! It’s tough to help kids with ADHD over the finish line and exciting to start a new chapter. Best of luck to your child!

Do you mind sharing stats? My kid is interested is SC, Wisconsin, Colby and Bates as well!!

DC has a 92.5 GPA and 35 ACT. At a highly rigorous private school in TX. Majoring in International Studies/Business and at least 1 foreign language (he currently takes 2). Pretty chill ECs, although he has spend a lot of time studying abroad and doing language competitions. I think his essays were really good.

Just trying to calibrate here: is this Cistercian/St. Mark’s level rigorous or a notch below?

If he gets Honors College at USC, take a hard look. Both it and IB there are amazing.

Here too!

DD is super interested in Davidson! Congratulations- it looks like an awesome school. The one senior I know that applied early did not get in...would you mind sharing stats?

1560 SAT, 4.3 weighted from FCPS, 12 AP. These stats are somewhat higher than typical Davidson admits, but DS loves the school and had no interest in NE SLACs.

Davidson is huge on fit, so be sure to visit the school and attend the AOs high school visit. They literally asked for these indications on the application, including dates.

We went through college apps a couple years ago with my ADHD student who struggled in high school but worked hard, thankfully had good college options and is now thriving and finally enjoying learning at the college level.

So excited for all of the 2024 graduates! Best of luck to all.

Absolutely on the ADHD struggle and grit. IYKYK!

Congratulations! Wonderful achievement. Best of luck to your child.
