[quote=Anonymous]My sister did this for two of her sons! I was shocked when I found out. One of them wound up attending and loving the school she applied to for him. I was horrified to hear this. Her kids were lackluster students in HS and put in very little effort on their applications and my sister must have just thought- it’s worth it. They were both finishing two years at a community college- so the applications were for transferring in as a junior. Her husband (boys’ father) never went to college and my sister I think basically worried that her kids were drifting in that direction and by dint of effort she was going to make sure they went and wound up in professional careers (unlike her husband). Boys are both in their 30s now, both have professional jobs. But I don’t know if that can count as evidence that her strategy was successful. They are not particularly “good” employees, not at all self-starters, really content to just be at whatever level they’re on. But maybe to my sister (we’ve never discussed it after I expressed horror when she told me) feels otherwise- that at least they aren’t working constriction. [/quote]
