[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you need to rule out schools you can't afford, right from the start, unless you condition it on getting substantial merit aid. I'd add what several musicians with national reputations (for classical music at least) told my older DC who is now in college: do not go to a music conservatory because they turn out lots of very talented grads who will never be able to support themselves because the number of grads exceeds the number of jobs. Go to a liberal arts college, major in music or art, but get the BA that will make you employable in other fields.

I read OP as saying you should wait to rule out schools that you don't like because of the educational philosophy/frat scene/reputation as being a school for spoiled rich kids.

I have one in college and another just starting the process, and I agree with this. DC1 was all over the place, between junior year and the fall of senior year, in terms of planned majors and dream schools. OP is right, it's not worth investing parental capital arguing this early in the game.[/quote]
