[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is a great lesson in letting your child make these decisions. She sounds like she knows herself and is looking out for herself. She's the one who has to spend four years there so if you push her to go to somewhere that doesn't feel right, she's the one who will suffer. Pus you have to get over the competitive parenting thing about the name. You'll make both her and you crazy. My DD was like your DD, the credentials to apply anywhere. She is going to a SLAC that is not top ten but is great for what she is interested in studying. More importantly it has a culture that really fits. I would worry about her in a school that was uber competitive but didn't have the kind of culture and environment that was a fit. I know she will get a fabulous education and will be happy. Thats what matters. Lots of parents will come on here and say that because you are paying you get to choose. I can't think of a greater disservice to an 18 year-old.[/quote]
