[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop obsessing over college admissions.  What your kid does in the summer has very little impact.  [/quote]

1000%. This is not a good look, OP. [/quote]

You don’t understand. SHE is the one driving the bus here. We would prefer she get a local job and volunteer over the summer, she wants to live somewhere else and learn/do something more novel. [/quote]

Your response doesn’t compute with your original post.  You said “I can’t find internships” meaning you were doing the research.  If she is driving the bus. You don’t need to do anything (unless she is applying to a program you can’t afford or doesn’t work for your family overall). [/quote]

Well that’s the crux of it, the programs she finds are quite expensive, she wants an academic residential program — taking courses while living on college campus. We prefer an internship which would hopefully just cost room and board or maybe even pay something. [/quote]

DP. Would you qualify for any financial aid? My kid did an amazing program that was 5K, and we asked for FA. They gave us 1k which helped. Our HHI is about 140K[/quote]
