[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is in the same place, and I suspect the previous posters suggesting your child is not ready for college don't have older teens.  They will get crummy housing and not their first choice of classes, and hopefully, they'll learn.  It's ok and will be ok.  Promise.[/quote]

It will be okay... if OP possibly enjoys paying for something the is possibly going to be a big waste of money.

Those are clear red flags.  Or at the very least pink flags that a serious talk needs to happen where expectations are clearly defined.

Yes, crappy housing and classes are the natural consequences of not signing up prior to the deadline.  But avoiding even opening email, the simplest of tasks is also a red flag that OP's DD could be depressed.  Or just not ready for college.

I have one graduating from college in a few weeks, one graduating from HS in June, and one who will be a senior in HS next year.

If my current HS senior displayed this lack of action and I was paying for his education, there's no way that would fly.
