[quote=Anonymous]Arghh! i showed this thread to my son to no avail. The child is lovesick and wants to go to George Mason to stay close to to a junior girl who is more an infatuation than girlfriend. She's even told him that she doesn't plan to stay in this area for college. He claims he can then transfer to another school next year (likely to wherever she's going to college).  He's got close to straight As with 1500+ SATs and he is refusing to apply anywhere else. This from a boy who has had a UVA banner in his room since he was 5 years old (and where he is a legacy). His guidance counselor agrees that he is aiming low but she refuses to push him to apply elsewhere. With early application deadlines rapidly approaching, my husband and I are at a loss. We've even suggested that he apply elsewhere and then take a gap year. We've also tried to suggest counseling since we believe the boy is losing himself in his unhealthy infatuation with this girl and it is readily apparent to us that she doesn't share the same feelings.  The whole situation is painful to watch and we are at our wits end.[/quote]
