My friend attended USC. Her daughter is intellectually slow,
but because of her mother’s financial support to the college, her
daughter will be admitted.

SC football players are the best that money can buy.

I played ball in High School with a guy that graduated with 26 Ds and the coach had to plead with the teachers for halfof those.

He went to SC and graduated, paid for with a scolarship, given a new car, and a do nothing job that gave him a salary to live on.

My daughter has an overall IQ score that is low. She has brain damage that has affected her speech, memory, and processing speed. This basically means that she can read at grade level. She’s going into 6th grade.

However, in math she is awesome. She routinely scores 98% on math tests, and it says she is like performs at a high school level. She even gets answers to problems that she has never been taught. For example many years ago, when her older brother was learning negative numbers, she asked what they were. I just verbally told her. From that she could figure out addition and subtraction of negative numbers all on her own.

Anyway, everyone thinks my daughter should go to college because she is awesome at math. She’s just not great at reading/writing.
