[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be jaded because I have a senior, but I would see schools in a range, not just top schools. A lot can happen between freshman and senior year and you are setting him up to feel like a failure.[/quote] +1 this! I totally screwed up with my DD...right before 10th grade started, we ended up in a big city and our plans had fallen through, so I attempted to make lemons into lemonade by doing some college tours. Got DD excited about two places and now that we are in 11th, I'm realizing that those schools would be reach or out of reach. But the fix isn't to not do the tours, the fix is to do a range of schools so if, say, Berkeley drops out, then you still have some others on the list. Also, btw if your kid isn't enthused, I wouldn't push it or you may end up with showing pearls to swine. Sometimes (maybe most times) it takes seeing motivation on the part of the the peer group to get them motivated.[/quote]
