[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in this same position right now and it is very hard for us, the parents. DC is set on wanting to apply to a certain college ED that they should be able to get into regular decision. DC’s vocalized reasons relate to feeling very comfortable on the canpus and that she would fit in well and be happy there - all good things but can’t that happen at many other colleges, too? DC isn’t sure of a major yet, but leans to psychology, sociology so honestly the departments are strong and interchangeable at most colleges.

DC has worked very hard through high school, gotten excellent grades, taken rigorous classes, excelled in an extracurricular. It feels like DC is “settling” for this college and should be aiming much higher. I am torn between wanting to convince DC to reconsider and not seeming supportive of their choice. [/quote]

Support your child.

You just stated how together she is, so treat her that way. She has earned the right to make this choice.

Show your faith in her. [/quote]
