[quote=Anonymous]Be really clear and explicit before she applies re what you can afford and are willing to pay for college and under what circumstances. If you will expect her to finance her own graduate education, let her know that as well and point out how carrying undergrad debt will affect her options down the road. If she needs a reality check re what's a reach, tell her about the Common Data set and the info it provides about the qualifications of the middle 50% of each school's entering class. Limit the number of applications to what you think she can do well. Make sure that she includes at least one or two schools you're pretty certain that she will be admitted to and that you can afford. Be prepared to relax the limit you imposed if she has good reasons and demonstrates that she can handle more apps. Discuss EA/ED with her, both to see if the counselor has explained it and to make sure she understands the strategic implications, if any, in her case. [/quote]
