My experience is that most of the older kids are pretty insightful and reasonable about themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and their thinking about college and the future. On the other hand, many (but not most) of the parents are somewhat unrealistic about their kids' strengths and weaknesses, what that says about which colleges would/would not be a good fit, and what that says about their kids' prospects for admission to the most competitive colleges. And at least some of them are obsessively focused on the Ivy League.


Interesting.

You travel to universities for what purpose and in what capacity? Would be interested in hearing the feedback you have gotten,please share.
