[quote=Anonymous]OP, I suggest talking to the college counselor at your kid's school about this.  The college counselors have lots of experience dealing with the dynamics of parent-child interaction around college searches.  Our dd's counselor managed to chill us out a bit.  They've seen it all before.

The other suggestion I have is that instead of resisting the school you don't like that you just require that your kid pick five top schools, visit them, and research them all with an open mind before making up his mind.  My dd also attended two different admitted student weekends.  I went with her. I had originally been opposed to the school she finally chose and she was not entranced with it either. But first she was won over and by the time I went  through the two admitted student weekends, I was won over as well.

And remember, he's a rising 11th grader.  A lot can change between now and next year. So make him promise to keep an open mind and do his research but you also should promise the same.

Good luck! I know this is a stressful time.  Hang in there![/quote]
