Suzi, FYI, a lot of schools aren't considering the writing portion in admissions decisons, just the math and verbal. The reasoning is that there's not yet any data that shows that the writing portion of the SAT effectively measures/predicts the student's ability to write on a college level. A 600 on each means a 1200 for most schools, which is quite good.
This must be what going mad feels like.

She is still all over the place, Sparky.
She is very interested in Physical Therapy/Sports Medicine. University of the Pacific is her top choice, though probably out of our $$ range. She is also looking at the Kenesiology (sp?) program at SF State and there is something at UC Davis she is interested in. Oh, and she is still in qualification for a big scholarship to Berkeley, so she would be ok with going there if she gets that. Yeah. Again, how is she mine?!?!?

She was awesome but I got her too late to overcome my math phobia.
I had an awesome math teacher my junior year. If I'd had her for algebra, I could have kicked ass. As such, I had her for Algebra II/Trig, and was WAY behind.

Did she ever find anyone to talk to? It occurs to me (now, d-u-h) that our friends have a son at UC Berkeley who is going into this. He went to Oak Tech and played on the basketball team and has used his connections to travel with the Cal basketball and football teams. He's a nice kid.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay for 1860! Sounds like she'll have a good selection of schools even without retaking.

She is a strange kid. Every time we have found someone in the field for her to talk with, she has balked. Our next door neighbor is a PT Assistant and we suggested asking if she could shadow her for a day...so far she hasn't asked.
Sparky - you friend's son is a smart cookie.

His bff from Oak Tech [link] is on the Celtics, now. So, yes -- he's been lucky to have connections and smart in using them so far.
eta: If you she gets up her courage to talk to people at some point, I'd be happy to put her in touch.

1860 sounds pretty good to me! Congratulations!
Good to hear that Teddy is doing so well. And I'm happy that you don't have to rehydrate him (is that what you call it?) every day.

Our IT group's intranet page has a link for you to "download hardcopy" of something or other.
Neat trick if they can do it, but it was my understanding that IT people laughed at people who do things like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
