[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you but you really need to find a way to chill.

Look at the studies that demonstrate choice of school does not have a major impact on lifetime earnings.

Or consider all the positive reviews for schools beyond the top ones. Somehow students are happy and learning at the schools this forum sometimes frowns upon.

Set up the parameters of your search, create a timeline and do your research. Then spend time with your twins before they leave home.

I am a parent of twins, I have been in your shoes!

+100 When my DD had a huge meltdown in 10th grade over college stress (coming from school/peers, not us) I spent some time with her showing her schools I thought she'd like that have good programs for her interests and have 60%+ acceptance rates. Talked with her about how going to to a super selective school is not essential for success. Pointed out that DH and I and plenty of people she knows didn't go to those schools so if her friends think that they are wrong. I seemed to help and she's actually now at one of the schools I showed her back then. [/quote]
