[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made the list for my kid.

My friends made the list for their kids.

I know some posters will proudly announce that their kids did everything, but most 17 year olds are not able to apply by themselves. The process has ballooned to overly complex proportions.

I spent a year and a half researching every possible option for my child. I am good at this kind of thing. I still have my crazy long list in my iPhone notes.

I know my child and this was just the easiest way to do things.

We were looking for schools that were basically opposite of what most on this board are looking for. And my kiddo is not a great student, so needed a school that had good supports and services. Had to have the two programs she wanted as major possibilities-in the end, she did not pick a school because it only had one of her fields as a minor.

I am thrilled with where she landed. It is the perfect school FOR HER. I helped her find it, took her to visit last fall and that was it.

Maybe you can sit down with your child in front of a computer for a short while googling lists based on different criteria. Type of school, different programs, etc. there are a bunch of lists out there!

Good luck-I just got back from dropping my child at her sweet little school in New England[/quote]
