[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent the child you have, not the child you wish you had.

I guarantee he knows that he is a disappointment to you and that will affect his relationship with you.

Which is more important, how he feels about himself and you or the ranking of his college?[/quote]

So unnecessary. As parents it’s our job to help guide them. College is a whole different ballgame now than 25 years ago. Advice like take the most rigorous classes you can, hone in on one or two unique hobbies, do non profit work... that is helpful.. not this lalalalalalalala we are so holistic and laid back about the whole college thing, I don’t care about any of this and just let whatever happen. You’re in denial or stupid if you don’t think you’re giving your kid some guidance to help get them prepared for college. [/quote]

But that wasn't the OP's question. The question was how can he get into an elite college, not how can I guide him to get into the best fit college or even the best college possible.[/quote]
