I think one thing that I'm struggling with is that I don't know what caliber of colleges are reasonable reach/match/safeties for them, and I feel like I can't know until I get ACT or SAT scores back. Their GPA's are 4.1 and 4.2 weighted (our school doesn't give unweighted). S is just below top 10% and D is within 10%. But are they taking the very possibly hardest curriculum? No - S is humanities oriented and D is math / science oriented and they take honors / AP in those areas but not in others (with my permission / blessing). Plus - they just are normal hs kids with normal hs activities and clubs and interests -- they aren't the Intel-winning, Olympic-finalist, started-my-own-business-and-cured-cancer kids I see on CC that scare me out of thinking that it's even a possibility to go after the top schools. I guess I'm also just anxious for those scores just to get a benchmark as to where we're heading, could head, or should head.
