[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is sad.

Not one person, or even the OP, asked where the young man wants to go. I guarantee he has a favorite college, and it's probably not Harvard or Yale, probably not close. Maybe it's clutch-the-pearls the state flagship he already knows peers at and he could easily get into. For shame!

But a[b] nutty status-obsessed striver mom has to blow this entire process so out of proportion that she admits she's popping pills.[/b]
The young man is nearly 18 years old, has strong stats, and has a full-time job. There's[b] nothing for you to obsess over[/b]. It's not difficult for a self-motivated teen to apply to college, especially if you're UMC as no need for financial aid forms cuts off about 75% of the app paperwork.

He'll get in somewhere good to great and you'll (hopefully) look back at this and [b]your unhealthy sad obsession with bragging rights and status with embarrassment and shame.[/b][/quote]

PP,  you know what? First of all, thank you so much for coming on this thread on page 3 and not before. It is a clear signal that a hefty chunk of good advice has already been posted.  Now, I have some to-dos and some food for thought.

Calling me a  "nutty status-obsessed striver mom" is like a warm embrace of acceptance that I am indeed a DMV/DCUM native having a perfectly normal DMV/DCUM freakout and totally deserving of not being handled with care.

Got it. You're a troll and all of this is a lie.[/quote]
