[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have researched many colleges since DC was a freshman basing on DC's interests at the time.  DC is a rising junior and interests have changed but some academic interests have gotten stronger.  We have eliminated some colleges, some on the back burner, some a second look, etc.

My point being that we started early, and I am an active participant in helping DC find colleges that are a good fit.  No way would I put her future fully in the hands of the college counselor, no matter how competent.  We might even consider outside placement professionals but that remains to be seen.  Ultimately, the choice is DC's but every student should get the benefit of their parent(s) experience who attended college and know the bumps and bruises along the way.[/quote]

You sound way, way over involved.  Researching since she was a freshman?  Thats just unhealthy.

Plus we all went to college at a different time.  Hence the unrealistic parental expectations referred to.  I suspect if you left it completely up to your DC it would work out just right.[/quote]
