@momofsenior1 and @whidbeyite2002 Thank you very much for your advise. I shall convince my D not to retake SAT, instead will ask her to put her effort in preparing good essay.
Is there any guidelines to write reasonably good essay? She is in a class of 700 students and hence her school counselor may not be of much help. Is there any professional out there to help write good essay? How did you D write essay? did she write on her own or took some help from outside?
