[quote=Anonymous]We were having similar problems with our DD, the only difference being that she's not aiming at TT schools because she doesn't have the grades for that. She's been dragging her feet with the common app, the essay, getting in requests for teacher recommendations. Frankly, I think she's just overwhelmed by the college application process. DH and I took her out to dinner the other night and had a low key conversation about the whole thing -- her fears, her hopes, her feelings about not getting in to top schools. After that things seem better. DD is more willing to put in the effort and not as defensive when we bring up colleges. I think that dinner cleared the air somehow. Maybe something like this would work for you and your DS, OP?[/quote]
