[quote=Anonymous]I think that making is good list is important. If you school has Naviance, use it to decide your child's likelihood of being admitted. You need some safeties, targets and reaches. Buy (or get from the library) a book like Princeton review to read about what the options are, and to guide discussions with your DD about her preferences (such as large or small school, rural or urban, Greek life or no). It is hard to provide specific advice from afar. Are you friends with any other local parents who might have experience with this process? They would probably be very happy to help you, if you explain your situation. The PTA or Guidance office might even match you up with such a family, if you don't know any. And the school's English dept should offer to read your child's draft essay, early senior year. Good luck![/quote]
