[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good pointers -- just a few additions based on our experience: -- Don't just look at different types of schools, but APPLY to different types of schools. Kids grow a lot senior year and the SLAC that looked appealing in October may feel very confining/too much like high school come April. Or vice versa with big schools. -- What you interpret as disinterest may be an internal process that is still churning and not ready for parental consumption. College is usually the first big life decision that kids feel they own (and they should own it), but that means they will approach it at their own pace -- SAT prep, college counseling sessions and adult hectoring notwithstanding. I mean...what else in life takes TWO YEARS of deliberate preparation? And these are kids! Sheez, if pregnancy lasts nine months, you would think we could reduce the college admissions timeline to senior year. [/quote]
