[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college application process is an important learning opportunity in itself for the student.  It’s a time to practice research, prioritization of interests, and self-marketing skills. High schoolers can learn a lot about themselves during it.  They probably won’t start off with the best instincts, but can improve a lot in short order. Some guidance is useful, but it’s best to let them make as many decisions as possible, both so they can learn to be self-sufficient with important decision making and because you’ll just get blamed and resented if you don’t let them decide things and the result later turns out less than perfect.

Well siaid.  Let your child grow and be healthy. [/quote]

Also, imagine, if you guide/force your kid to select a school for any reason other than finances, and then whenever they struggle (hint: they will struggle at some point freshman year), they will blame you.  When those struggles happen, it's much smoother if they are at a school they picked!

Step back, trust them to become independent and let them fly[/quote]
