[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid applied early to our alma mater. I didn’t realize we were supposed to feel conflicted about this. It seemed like the sensible thing to do since the school was one of their top choices.  [/quote]

Apologies, my post was not meant to suggest you *should* feel conflicted. I am not judging anyone, simply sharing my thoughts and asking for others.[/quote]

No need to apologize. I think it depends on your kid. If your school isn’t one of their top choices then it doesn’t make sense to apply there just because you have a legacy connection. Our second kid didn’t apply early to our alma mater because they really wanted to go somewhere else so that’s where they applied.   It’s probably more helpful for your kid to decide what they want and then you figure it out from there. [/quote]

My daughter had a similar feeling, not guilt so much as she and everyone else would think she got in because of the hook and for no other reason. She just didn’t feel like dealing with that. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing this![/quote]
