[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughters got into what this forum considers prestigious colleges and our son turned down Penn for a full merit scholarship. All three are doing really well. My niece is currently senior and her middle class parents, my brother and sister in law, did not ask any of us for advice. When discussing plans for this holiday week last night on FaceTime, my niece's application process came up and they are confidentially clueless and made so many mistakes. I bit my tongue. I or the kids would have been happy to help but they never asked and I didn't want to force myself on them.

To those of you with a track record of college admission success, [b]do your less sophisticated family come to you for help[/b] or do you give advice unprompted? I regret not being pushier because the sums of money involved and the opportunities and options she missed out on are life-altering for both my niece and her parents.[/quote]

This is why I hope this post is fake. Carry on.[/quote]
