[quote=Anonymous]It's just very stressful. For many kids, this is the first time they're being evaluated on their own merits. Plus, many kids have unrealistic ideas about how this will determine their whole futures. You are probably already be doing these things. But - try to discourage your kid from fixating on one or two schools. Tell him there are lots of great colleges where your kid will be very happy and get a great education. - tell your kid to avoid much of the school gossip about who is applying where. If he doesn't tell everyone that Princeton is his first choice, then he won't have to be embarassed if Princeton rejects him. And it's a kindness to his classmates if he doesn't know the details about their results, either.[/quote]
