[quote=Anonymous]Obviously it depends on age, number of schools, and child's preference. The younger the more you make it about spaces and siblings of kids already there getting priority. Nothing personal. The older the kid, the more you can ask them what they think the results were. Our DCs were very accurate about which they got accepted to or not at and why. They were spot on and ended up totally bought in to where they wanted to be anyway. I hope they'll look at college the same way. It's not a competition, per se. You're making decisions for your own life, not all the other applicants. The kids are still motivated by true competitions like video games and sports. And, between each other, grades. lol[/quote]
