[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just relax OP. I have a kid at a top-25 and another one who will not have anything resembling a *checks notes* "solid college application." (This is not uncommon in my friend group, btw.) I did the same thing for both of them... What I did: Let them choose their path, and help each one individually as they requested/needed. What I didn't do: Map out a 4-year plan that you have no control over (and doesn't guarantee anything) and overly stress about college.[/quote] This is the best advice posted. Let them learn how to live and discover what interests and motivates them. Take some risks! Explore! You know, what teenagers used to be able to do.[/quote]
