[quote=Anonymous]Wait until you get acceptances. It may that your choices are narrowed down for you. I hope not, but admissions are funny. My DC got waitlisted or rejected at some of the schools we thought were less selective and got into some that were more selective. Of the ones DC was accepted to, it got narrowed down to 2, and we told DC whichever he picked we’d be on board with. frankly the one DC picked was not our (the parents) first choice going into the process, but it did grow on us the more we learned about it through the process. The only piece of firm advice I’d offer is DO NOT pick based primarily on where you think your DS will get the best college acceptances. He’ll be able to rise to his level at any number of schools. If there is a place he truly loves, he’s more likely to do it there than some more prestigious place you choose for him.[/quote]
