[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a senior and every adult she encounters asks her where she wants to go to college, how her applications are going or what her SAT score is.  Please give  these kids a break.  They have enough on their plate.  They don’t need to be asked about college at every casual encounter.

And, could people with more social savvy than I have share a good response she can use to deflect these questions?[/quote]

I have an idea.  Do what my son did.  He told them where he wanted to go to college, that he wouldn't know or have to commit until spring, and that where he went depended on where he gets in and on what he thinks he will major in and he's still undecided as of right now.  That seemed to work.  And if her SATs scores aren't very good, which is what I'm perceiving here, she can say "I didn't do as well as I had hoped on the SATs the first time and plan on repeating them in February even though most schools are test optional at this point."
