[quote=Anonymous]Not worry so much. My oldest is at a college I'd never heard of (I'm Canadian so only was familiar with the 25-30 highest profile unis in the US) and he's so happy there and is doing cool research and about to graduate and on his way to a very exciting grad school opportunity. My middle is in her freshman year at a middle of the road LAC and thriving. My youngest wants to follow her there and ED to the same school since she's having such a wonderful experience! There are so many potentially great fits out there. All of our kids in college got merit and love their peer group and schools. Don't worry about things you can't control (like getting into a school with a 5% acceptance rate). Keep parenting your kids and be open to many different colleges experiences. Explore schools that give a lot of merit. Why not get a discount? Have faith in your kid and let them trust their own gut on fit. Rankings = prestige but not necessarily = good fit.[/quote]
