She does not want to go to a large school. She qualifies for UT Austin’s automatic acceptance of top 7% but does not want to go there. Seriously, I wish I went to a high school like some of your kids who have access to helpful guidance counselors, ECs like FIRST Robotics, teachers who encourage you to take AP tests instead of saying don’t bother.
Thank you for the help to those who did not “presume” that I am making all of these preferences up and that my sister and I do not talk all the time for me to know “what she really wants” (side rant: did you ever think that she explicitly has told me these preferences…isn’t it exhausting to assume the worst about someone?). Thank you to those of you who did not “presume” that I am not aware it’s “HER life.”
Now is my time to “helicopter” out of this thread. I appreciate any private messages on school suggestions or a continuation of the conversation through a medium where everything I state is not assumed to be of malicious intent by a select few.
