[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to all who gave very useful advice. I don't mind doing the research. I want my daughter to make the choices and do most of the leg work but this process seems to put a lot of pressure on parents to steer kids well. I have heard for years how much harder it is now to get into college so when we started to consider some options I feel one minute like I've lowered expectations way too much but then I fear my guidance will lead her to unrealistic hopes and she won't get in anywhere! The most confusing thing seems to be how much extracurriculars, awards and essays matter. I can plug in her stats but then I hear "You can't get into that school without a hook." How do you factor in the need for a hook?[/quote]
