[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By senior year of high school, the kids themselves need to be in charge of their college application process. It's their experience. It's their lives. It's their careers. It's their relationships. At 17/18, they need to have a little agency and take ownership of where they want to go school. Parents are there for guidance and a financial reality check. But otherwise, the students need to own their college choices. Otherwise it leads to second guessing, detachment, a feeling of floating through life. Kids should feel a sense of accomplishment as they settle on their college choices. You can't gift this to a kid. They are much happier when they feel they've earned it and made the choices themselves. And if a kid is uninterested in their future, well, they'll learn quickly that flaking leads nowhere and they'll adjust quickly. [/quote]

Idk, I agree with the poster saying [b]kids do mature a lot over the year. Unfortunately the process requires a timeline not always in sync with maturity.[/quote][/b]

The above is most insightful post in this thread.

Life is about choices. Both action and inaction have consequences.[/quote]
