[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I'd back off. Stop ALL discussion of college.

Next summer or early fall, visit several campuses, including Princeton.

Apps are 11 months odd; he doesn't have to decide now and the more everyone pressures him, the more likely he will refuse or rebel by tanking his grades or something.

Yes that makes sense, that is what I am thinking. I just have to get dh and the rest of the family to back off. Easier said than done hahah.  [/quote]

Well, let DH worry about himself and his folks.  Just tell them that they more they pressure DS, the more he is going to want to go somewhere else.  Right now, Princeton and the pressure he is getting from y'all are one and the same to him.  Let him visit Princeton and form his own impressions and then re-visit.  But right now, he only associates it with negativity and pressure.

Humble brag alert:  I have sent 3 of mine to college - 2 to HYSP.  Our approach was to make home an oasis from all the college app pressure.  He should enjoy being at home.  He should not dread it or talking to his parents because they are putting pressure on him about a particular school. [/quote]
