[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD says she is unable to make decision on colleges.  She has a good list and has opportunity to get support for ED2 to a couple of selective schools.  However she is just too conflicted on how to decide and emotional about it that most discussions end in tears.  A gap year is possible but she does not want to go thru the college process again (neither do we).  I also suspect she wants a do over - she full of regret about how she her expectations were so out of line with what was really possible. It doesn't help that her friends are getting into top schools.  A rough time for us all.  Any words of wisdom from more experienced parents?[/quote]

DC cannot decide either.  So he has forgone the ED and applied RD everywhere.  As a result, we have to wait until April.  :twisted:   I was fine with it until this week.  Now that his friends are getting back their EDs and know where they are going- every announcement is a reminder that we have 4 more month to wait.  His brother knew by now and it was easier.  I know that in the long run it really doesn't matter and I grit my teeth and smile.

Gap years are better if the application is already accepted and the student defers for a year.  [/quote]
