[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think setting that expectation was the job for two years ago. Did you give your student a budget? Do other schools fall within that budget? I think you are setting yourself up for a lot of resentment if you say “Great job getting those merit scholarships to Welcoming SLAC and Awesome Flagship, but Dad and I decided you are going to Last Choice Safety. Hey, you picked that school to add to your list (after we insisted you needed a safety), so really, this was your choice.”[/quote] I agree with this. Making him attend the lowest price one seems like a bait and switch to me. Choosing a college is a person's first adult choice. I think it's important that the student and not the parents make that choice, because then the student experiences the consequences, good and bad. If it doesn't go well, he cannot come back and blame you.[/quote]
