[quote=Anonymous]in a similar boat to OP with DD not having any clear schools she wants to apply to despite visiting 8-10 schools this year. IN our case the issue is that DD probably had unrealistic expectations. She didn't do as well as she had hoped on standardized tests despite multiple tries so many schools we visited turn out to not be realistic options for her. We have been trying to broaden the list and visit some other places but every time there is something making her reject things out of hand--too small, too rural, too boring. Her friends who are graduating are going to more competitive schools than she can get into but it's hard to get her to shift mindset. My goal is just to try to get 2-3 targets/safeties into the mix. Honestly, i wish she would just take a gap year and work so she can get out of the anxiety/rat-race spin and really focus on what she wants but she won't consider it. [/quote]
