<p>Wow that’s a long name to type. <g> Actually, D’s a junior. So we don’t begin the app process until this summer. I’m just trying to not put us behind an 8 ball on anything with this stupid roller coaster of a ride called college admissions. I figure minimize problems that we can fix, and pray about the problems that we can’t. And yeah, on paper she would appear <em>over qualified</em> for the state school in that she’s above their medians on everything from grades to standardized scores. And we think her EC’s are definitely above average … but who knows these days. </g></p>
