[quote=Anonymous]I’m right there with you with my junior son. I’m fine if he’s not that competitive but he also seems like he thinks he can just fall upward, which is probably not realistic. I’m afraid there will be a hard crash next year when all the chickens come home to roost. His girlfriend, OtOh, is totally on top of things and I’ve had a number of nice conversations with her about her thoughts and plans. She’s a little horrified by how cavalier my son is being. I’m not one to wring hands about “oh, but think of the poor boys!” But I do think the hyper competitive college application environment is not great for all these boys that are on average a couple years behind on the frontal lobe development. I know so many great guys that didn’t hit a stride until mid way through college and I do worry a little that we’re not providing enough room for that in today’s environment. [/quote]
