[quote=Anonymous]This thread is sad. Not one person, or even the OP, asked where the young man wants to go. I guarantee he has a favorite college, and it's probably not Harvard or Yale, probably not close. Maybe it's clutch-the-pearls the state flagship he already knows peers at and he could easily get into. For shame! But a nutty status-obsessed striver mom has to blow this entire process so out of proportion that she admits she's popping pills. The young man is nearly 18 years old, has strong stats, and has a full-time job. There's nothing for you to obsess over. It's not difficult for a self-motivated teen to apply to college, especially if you're UMC as no need for financial aid forms cuts off about 75% of the app paperwork. He'll get in somewhere good to great and you'll (hopefully) look back at this and your unhealthy sad obsession with bragging rights and status with embarrassment and shame.[/quote]
