Thanks so much for all of your kind words and advice. This is all so very daunting. She really is a great kid. My husband and I are amazed that a student as motivated and hardworking as she is has to feel that she’s not “good enough” for the best schools. And trust me when I tell you that our school district feeds into that.

She scored 184 on the PSAT with no preparation. She will be taking an SAT prep course and will most likely study her butt off (that’s what she does) so I assume she’ll raise that a few hundred points. She also wants to take a couple SAT II tests (Math and Spanish - two of her strengths.)

She doesn’t seem to want to leave the Northeast so at this point we don’t even know where else to look, other than the 6 schools we’ve seen. We’ll be talking to her school college counselor after mid-terms for more guidance.
