[quote=Anonymous]If I were a college consultant I would do the following:
Ask each parent where they went to college and listen if they generally were satisfied with their experience. Public vs private. It's important for families to support the decision and usually parents place more value on the experience they had. Since your DD is probably not too focused on this yet, use this time to nail down what you are willing to provide, an honest assessment of total cost. Does your child deficient in any areas -meaning are there any areas that could prevent her from majoring in anything her heart desires (math or foreign language talent) Again, since your daughter may not be too invested yet, pick a few schools you think might be good and research (not so much cause you want her to go there but because the steps are important) Look at the online undergraduate catalogue and see what the requirements are for different majors, notice the % of greek participation, % of on campus housing, % or undergraduate vs graduate enrollment. Overall you want to know how you can help your daughter find information once she mentions an interest. The goal of course is that it's your daughter's decision, and the parents are happy too.[/quote]
