[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just my kid. DH looked at me the other night and said “maybe DD should take a gap year.” To be clear this kid is high stats and, until about a month ago, loved school. But the whole application process makes college seem like such a poor match for her. She is just a high-stats kid who wants to study math, travel, attend a few games, and explore different areas she might want to pursue in more depth. Colleges seem to want her to already have done all those things before she applies. [/quote] This is why I’ll be totally happy if mine ends up at her safety school that admits almost everyone. Freedom to explore, relatively low cost. These kids really need some space to figure themselves out before they get in the fast track to miserable adulthood.[/quote]
