[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi-

My DD is torn between two schools for an ED choice. Yes, she could put off this decision and just RD but much less likely to get in to them RD (bc ED boost is real for both schools).

The two schools are quite different and I can understand her pros and cons to
Each and why she is drawn to these two.

My husband and I have been supportive of this difficult decision and have not offered our opinion between the two bc we want her to own the decision and not feel like we tipped the scale (and god forbid are blamed should It not feel like the right fit!)

What are you all doing as far as sharing opinions or preferences or noting extra down-sides to one school...?? Please LMK what your experience has been or
Any advice here?

Thank you so much in advance!!!

yes, your job is to listen and ask questions so she thoroughly considers the pros/cons for each school.  Outside of finances, do not "share your opinion" because you are absolutely right, if (or more likely when) something goes wrong during college or the admission process, they will be frustrated and blame you.  You want them to own their decision.  
But you can share financial information, and how much you are willing/able to pay
