[quote=Anonymous]I hear you. The schools are mostly privates, 3-7 hours away. So, it means more money on hotels and missing class (for him) and work (for me). I agree that more "data" at this point though (especially overnights) are valuable bases for his decision. I think it is hard for my DC to let go of caring about grades so much. But, I am trying to explain (without adding pressure) that his future academic home is more important at this point than high school classes. I am trying to emphasize that we are in an enviable position: schools want to wine and dine him now, in hopes of gaining his acceptance. I am trying to frame this part of the process as an acknowledgement of his hard work and strong individual characteristics. [/quote]
