[quote=Anonymous]OK, so she has two she likes. That's a great start! I'm surprised no one on this thread has offered to give you suggestions :) In general, I agree with the idea that the more invested the kid is, the better they will do. But let's assume her reticence has at least something to do with anxiety or feeling overwhelmed. Are the two schools she likes similar to each other? For example, if she is thinking JMU and Penn State, you could suggest looking into NC State, Indiana, etc. If they are Johns Hopkins and Carnegie Mellon, she's going to need STRONG safeties, so take a little trip to Pennsylvania and check out Pitt and some SLACs -- Bucknell, Lafayette, Dickinson, etc. If the two schools have nothing in common, suggest a couple of "sort of likes" for each.
