[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What does your DD want? Seems more like this is your dream. [/b] I would focus on what she wants once she starts visiting colleges. [/quote] +100 "Getting into an Ivy" is never a good goal to have. Goals like "becoming a doctor," "becoming a software engineer," "being a writer," or "working to solve climate change/COVID/HIV" are all good goals to have. But aiming for the Ivies with no idea of what you want post-grad is a recipe for disaster -- and frankly, a recipe I see too many kids in this area fall into. [/quote]
