[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People can be so nosy. They can also be well-meaning. And clueless. Just get your statement ready “oh man this is a long process! We will see!”[/quote] It’s not nosy for a family member to ask where they are going to college![/quote] Asking in August before senior year is a bit clueless.[/quote] DP. I'm assuming they are asking where she is considering applying. For families where going to college is the norm, this is not an unusual question to ask a rising senior. OP, you are making too much of this. It's extremely common for kids to only be focusing on in-state schools. The reason could be grades. It could also be finances or simply wanting to stay close to home. What you really need to explore is why your DD is so unhappy with her college prospects that she doesn't even want to socialize with her family. That speaks to some pretty deep self-esteem issues that will only get worse if not addressed.[/quote]
