[quote=Anonymous]My advice is not to start worrying about college yet.  Just help your child to do their best at school, develop good habits of turning in assignments on time, etc, explore different activities to discover where their interests and passions lie, and continue to develop as a good and caring person.  Despite all the discussion about strategies, etc the main college acceptance criteria continue to be grades and recommendations, which are in your student's control to some extent.  While some things have changed, that has not changed. Aside from thinking about how to pay for college, there is not much point in thinking about colleges until Junior year when you have an idea about what your child's academic record will look like.  Our experience is that our son was accepted at his likely, target (and many of his reach schools) but rejected or wait-listed at his far reach schools.  It was not as unpredictable as some portray.  But our experience, like others, is just annecdotal.[/quote]
