[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not let him follow less accomplished friends to a party college. Period. End of story.

The issue is he thinks he's clever enough to get rejected and have to go to the party school, or if he thinks we're bluffing and will pay no matter what.[/quote]

OP, you remind me of my father who is still convinced (I am 40) that I "threw" an ROTC interview because of one sentence he heard during the interview. He sat outside of the interview room the whole time I was there. It was so embarassing.  I didn't want to be in ROTC, he made me apply. I didn't "throw" the interview, but clearly ROTC realized that I wasn't their kind of girl, based on my grades, courses that I took, extracurriculars, etc.

Anyway, why do you want to pay for your son to go to a school he doesn't want to go to--this "more accomplished" college?  If he seems to "think he is as clever" as you think he is, how do you know he won't either fail out of this super duper college he doesnt want to go?  Do you think that he is going to go to college and become the kid you want vs the kid you have?[/quote]
