[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a couple "musts" to feel like a good parent. I didn't express these, but I knew them,  and could relax and drawback from being overly involved once done: First: admission to an acceptable safety. Second: admission to 1 instate public (in case it turned out they didn't want to be far from home). Both DC ended up accepted and attended great schools, out of state, I never would have had on my radar. It was their process. But as parents, I think it's ok to insist and hover and push (within reason) for whatever it is that's going to help us feel calmer. We have emotional needs. It's ok to try to meet those, as long as the final decision on where they attend is theirs to make.[/quote]

Our CC required exactly that.  A true safety/likely that your kid likes and 2nd a safety that is within 6 hours from home.  And make that one where if your kid changes their mind even in June/July, the school would still honor the admissions (so think state school with a 70% acceptance rate---they will still take you at any time in the next year).  That way if you decide the other coast is just not you, you have a fall back
