[quote=Anonymous]Parents who think kids can apply to college and choose among options completely by themselves are delusional and headed for a subpar result. Can some students do this? Probably, but not most. Eighteen year olds do not have the perspective, knowledge, or life experience to make good judgments on such large decisions. Of course, a student’s interests, opinions, etc. are important, but most are massively overwhelmed by the process and decision. As for OP’s specific question, I wouldn’t leave the final decision solely to your kid. For example, if your kid gets into UVA and Michigan, he doesn’t just get to say “Michigan” with no regard to the cost difference, unless the parent cares less about the price difference. [/quote]
