[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My God, OP.  Your poor kid.  He's in 10th grade with a solid profile -- although you don't even know his test scores yet! -- and you're already freaking out about college?  He's going to be just fine.  As time goes on he'll see school mates getting into various colleges and things will fall into place.

Let him enjoy high school.  In the meantime, take a Xanax.[/quote]

Actually, you are the one who needs to chill. OP is not freaking out. They are asking a very reasonable question. By spring of sophomore year you have some sense of where your kid is going to be. These super selective public high schools are great at handling top kids, and also feeding kids to in-state publics, but aren't good at the other kids. So OP is asking a great question in a very reasonable tone.

But you be you. FFS.[/quote]

Yes, she freaking out.  She's describing a well adjusted kid who's doing just fine and is only in 10th grade.  I sent four kids to college and the only "sense" I had about them in 10th grade was whether they were happy.  This kid will land on his feet.  Everything she says about him makes that clear.  He could be happy in any one of 100 colleges.  [/quote]

Wow. You have a lot of angst. Now is the time to start thinking about this. Possibly starting to look at schools. So good to seek out options to visit and target. She is not stressed. Perhaps she shouldn't have had "worried" in the title but she has made it clear she is not worried, just doing her homework.

So many obnoxious people here just looking to show off how smart they think they are and how dumb they think everyone else is, yet the opposite is often true. If you don't have anything constructive to say, say nothing.[/quote]
