[quote=Anonymous]Why not put your foot down -- you can ONLY apply to Stanford if you also apply to 1 other safety and 2 other match schools? Are you afraid he's going to say that he doesn't want to even bother with Stanford then? It's fine to have a dream school -- many high school juniors do -- but kids with these kinds of dreams do understand how incredibly hard it is to get in because they know seniors from last year's class who didn't get in. Something sounds off -- either immaturity or it's his way of telling you he doesn't want to go to college but will make an exception for Stanford or his way of telling you that he wants to only be in Cali -- that last one is workable as you can help him find other matches/safeties in Ca.[/quote]
