[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody’s kid reach end of junior year without knowing where they want to apply? I’ve had trouble getting my kid to engage beyond his plan to apply to the popular schools in VA. But he needs to apply to more than 4-5 schools. Isn’t sure of major (but not engineering). Isn’t sure if he wants small or big. 
We’ve visited a few campuses.

Kid has decent stats in a way that’s typical for this area (4.0uw with many APs, 1480 SAT, sport, band, leadership positions, summer job, some volunteer work). So fine but no hooks or anything. If your kid took a while to engage, how did things turn out/how did they create their list?[/quote]

At least he knows he wants to apply to schools in VA. That's more than many juniors, believe it or not. They may even end up adding a few to the list in the Fall-early winter once they know more and if any early unfavorable decisions come. These teens change a lot between spring of junior year and senior year. Some think they want to apply for a particular major as if they are applying for grad school or something, only to not be so sure by spring of senior year. Patience and some nudging. If you can't or don't want, consider a college counselor.[/quote]
