Latin, Country Day, or PD? And were you hooked in some way?

Yes I went to one of those and no I was not hooked. I wasn’t the only kid with those test scores and grades from my school who had good results

Those scores will not get you into Clemson, UT, Auburn or USC in the current admissions environment. Maybe Charleston. I don’t know about TCU these days. Sorry, poster, but the world has changed in the 12 years since you applied to college. My son was 3.3 or so last year from a DC area private and was waitlisted at the schools I said are a no. He got into Charleston and considered it seriously.

Test optional universities along the same line of schools, so that she can focus on the rest of her strengths and keep her grades up.

I also have ADHD and a non specified learning issue that I suspect now is dyslexia

This is the problem with your top private and the money you spent there. What a sham.
