[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has your kid actually said this statement?

In general, do not room with someone from your high school or even the neighboring area, it just limits your social circle and no one I know who’s done this has been happy with the outcome. [/quote]

Op here. Exact words. She want to apply to go to the same school as friends who already attend and where current friends are applying.

I know people do it but I’m not sold that it’s a great idea [/quote]

Is she currently a junior?

If so, say ok. It’s totally fine. AND encourage her to apply widely - to the schools where she has friends (and/or friends planning to apply) and to others, too.

Kids change A LOT between May of junior year and May of senior year. It’s not worth over-thinking now.

IF your DD and her friends get into the same schools next year, AND she’s prioritizing choosing a school solely because of her friends, AND that school seems like a poor fit for her, then come back to ask for advice from parents who have BTDT.

Otherwise, cast a wide net and see what happens. There’s no need to speculate a year in advance about hypothetical issues. Good luck!! [/quote]
