[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid needs to find a reason to be excited about a few schools at the safety, target and reach levels. That way, no matter what happens, she will be content. [b]Get rid of the "dream" nonsense now.[/b] I had a dream school. It didn't work out and I was sad to go to the school I ended up getting into. Of course, it all worked out but if someone had knocked some sense into me early on, I would have been happier and adjusted better. I took this to heart with my own two (both currently in college). They created lists composed entirely of schools they would be happy to attend. Their orienting point was intended major but it doesn't have to be that. Once the first admit came through for each of them, they were so happy because they knew they were going to land at a great place no matter what. Best of luck. It's a jungle out there. [/quote] +1 We banned the use of that term in our house.[/quote]
