[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did my own college search without parental input, but it was ridiculously easy: Harvard, Wharton, Berkeley (where I was guaranteed a spot). Got into all of them; no FA. My parents had gone to college PT at night. No experience with selective admissions or residential campuses. My Dad did know Harvard and Wharton grads, so that shaped his opinions. Mom had had profs from Harvard and Columbia so that shaped hers. MBAs and PhDs, though— not undergrads, and maybe one of each. [b]It’d be insane to do what I did then today (without a guaranteed in-state option) and my DC has a parent who is an academic, so it’s a different ball game. And, as a family, we all research major decisions to death, with who does the heavy-lifting a function more of time/interest/efficiency than of who will ultimately make the choice.[/b][/quote] SO VERY TRUE - the first part for everyone, and the second part for my family :-)[/quote]
