I'll second that, and I want to add that I think this is a perfect example of why one should not presume to tell others what their gifts are or aren't or how they should or shouldn't seek fulfillment. If indeed your DD was advised to drop out of school and attempt to enroll in SAIC, that advice was clearly inappropriate.
