[quote=Anonymous]As one who has hosted foreign exchange students in our home, we have seen how it can be a life altering experience. If it can be integrated into the college essay, she will stand out. If she is motivated to jump through the hoops to go through an exchange program, she is motivated to make the most of whatever college she ultimately gets accepted into. Despite what many DCUMers think, the path to success does not only go through the Ivies. Besides, most of our kids will be going onto graduate school and so one's life is not pre-determined based on undergraduate. Final note: Life is about risks. When your kids indicate they are ready for risks, you have to indicate that you have full confidence in them making the best decision. Yes, definitely go through the pros and cons but, more often than not, I have seen first-hand how the parents seem to have a harder time with change than the kids when children go abroad. [/quote]
