[quote=Anonymous]Wish I’d pulled DC out of private and away from crazy parents of classmates. Nothing I/we could do successfully counteracted the consistent (and consistently effed up) messaging re college that DC encountered in that environment. Re easing the stress of it all. Find safeties DC loves. Hedge early apps (e.g. public as well as private, rolling admissions). Tell DC it’s a multi-stage process. Be realistic about what you can afford/are willing to pay before applications are submitted. Personally, I thought my parents had a good approach back in the day. Basically, it was explain to me why the school you want is worth $x more than the best state school you can get into. (It helped that the best state school was Berkeley!)[/quote]
