[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't have a dream school. Be realistic.[/quote] Exactly - I think it's the same thing with people who talk about buying their dream house or dream car or dream whatever. It sets unrealistic expectations.[/quote] This. I have a junior and was thinking about this the other day. The whole college process has gotten so ridiculous on so many levels - the build-up cannot possibly match reality. What is it with all of these kids announcing where they are "committing," now, for example? The social media posts about acceptance letters, the yard signs to announce college plans to the world. It's all out of proportion to the reality of the experience of moving and going to school. [/quote] I thought that term was used for athletic commits. Is that used for all college decisions?[/quote]
