<p>To get back on topic a bit, is this your daughter’s first choice school? Despite it being a reach school, I think if she really likes the school and wants to succeed, she will do just fine. She may need to work a little harder than if she was at another school, but that’s certainly not a bad thing if she’s dedicated to do well. There’s also grade inflation at many top schools, so keep that in mind. Look at her senior year grades (coming up at the end of the semester), see if she’s shown progress from the rest of her grades, and evaluate whether both of you think she can handle it</p>
