Mine wasn’t either; she puts an insane amount of pressure on herself, which of course adds to anxiety. We always made a concerted effort to not push APs, join organizations unless she really wanted to, etc. Her friends never discussed grades or scores; it’s just part of her personality. We were very fortunate my MIL is a retired GC from back in the day when they helped with college choice; other than budget and chiming in if she asked our opinions, we stayed out of the discussion. My MIL went over every option and offer with DD; they researched each school’s opportunities and weighed pros and cons. It was in those discussions DD started to shift to what was best for her beyond the superficial. MIL asked some tough questions; seriously, she was a godsend.
