Momnewtothis, you should talk to the school guidance counselor and get a copy of the school profile. It should show you where your daughter is in comparison to others at her school. In the world of the blind, a one eyed man would be king, they say, and so it goes with AP or advanced courses. If everyone iis taking much more than she is, their grades and schedules will be evaluated in light of this and so would hers. Also find out what schools kids with her stats tend to get in. If noone with stats at her level has ever gotten into Cornell, for instance, unless she has something that the college really wants, her chances of getting in there are poor. On the other hand, if the GC feels that plenty of kids like her have been accepted there, it would be a better bet.
