[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son and I visited UVA in the spring of this junior year. At the end of the presentation by the admissions person he looked over at me and said, “I wish I had heard all of this when I was in 8th grade or a freshman”. I thought that was pretty telling.[/quote] We did tell my DC the things they need to know, and even an older cousin had the talk and said, "I wish someone had told me at your age..." but[b] it didn't make a difference because sometimes their brains are not ready to hear about or process the future.[/b][/quote] Totally agree with this. [/quote] +1 High school admins know this, so they will tell the parents not to put ANY pressure on the teens until mid junior year. They literally tell you not to MENTION college until junior year. There is not much we, as parents, can do about it. If you push, the teens push back. [/quote]
