[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there’s a lot of concern among UMC parents about whether their kids will do as “well” as they did.  Plus college is a culmination of a thousand parenting decisions made over years.  What ECs, what academics, how hard you will push and tutor for grades. Public or private school. Which school pyramid.  Parents, myself included, need to feel like they made the right choices.

If you and you kid sacrificed pieces of their childhood (and a lot of money) for a T20, you need to believe it’s worth it.  If you help a kid who struggled academically or social emotionally, you need to believe they will become happy, healthy, products results at their CTCL school.  If you are like me and every decision was hard and you put a lot of thought into each step, you need to believe that that non T20 but well respected good fit colleges are places where your kid will be happy and productive and accomplish their goals.

[b]But, when you are talking about parenting choices and the future of your kids, most people’s natural response is to dig in and insist their path and their choices is the “right” one. [/b][/quote]

This is the correct answer. [/quote]
