[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My old boss's wife was a very involved alum and owns a place nearby so they can go up for football weekends. They love it and have tons of Colgate friends. It seems to have great schools pirit. But anyway, I would go about this differently, I think. Instead of trying to sell him on Colgate, what about just saying, OK, what's your alternative? Tell him it's fine if he gets a job instead, or goes to one of his other options (if he has other options). Is he unable to see that compared to spending a year bagging groceries, going to an excellent private university like Colgate is a pretty sweet deal? Reframe his options.[/quote] I think the more you tell him how great it is the more he will be mad about School X. But the more he sees it as genuinely better than his actual other options, the more he will get excited.[/quote]
