[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you do differently? What advice would you give to yourself one or two years earlier? Would you have your DC take different courses? Would you and DC apply to different schools? What did you wish you knew as a parent of a sophomore/junior? Thanks in advance! [/quote] Accept the fact that your kid probably isn't going to get into an ivy league school, even when you can see that their grades/SAT/NMSF status are better than most of the kids who will be admitted. Read Frank Bruni's book about admissions to calm yourself down. Encourage your kid to do one interesting thing well. If they are interested in engineering or CS, have them do side projects/summer jobs or volunteer positions in the field that they can discuss. Enter hackathons. [/quote]
