Yowza. What did I do (other than be a newbie with newbie questions) to engender hostile comments like “magical unicorn” and small private school which DOESN’T EVEN have them sit PSAT as a soph (emphasis mine)? Luckily I am not thin-skinned.
FYI the “small private school” is one of the top schools in Minnesota, and the kids did practice ACTs and SATs soph year. DD is awaiting the results of SAT II’s in World History and Chem.
I’ve been doing my research and have found a number of private schools in Iowa that offer full tuition scholarships; we’ll visit four of them during Iowa private college week in August. We are visiting two in Wisconsin next month.
We are seriously considering some southern schools but are a little concerned about some of what we read as DD is Chinese.
Thanks to those who’ve offered supportive and useful private comments. I am now looking at schools that offer full tuition.
