[quote=Anonymous]OP, ignore the weird hater who seems obsessed with your list. We hired a consultant to develop an initial list for my kids then I added to it. My kids were free to add or subtract to it. One added a school then took it off later. The other just went with the list. It's overwhelming for a 16-17 year old to come up with a list themselves of the thousands of colleges out there.

But we started with their preferences. Took them to visit a few different types of colleges in different types of locations, then used their wish list and major interest to make a list.

I absolutely thought both kids would do best at SLACs. Kid number 1 got there right away. Kid #2 initially liked a school that was huge and where he would have gotten lost in the mix. He came around after visiting some more schools and is also going to a SLAC.

You know your kid and you also know the world better than they do. It's their choice but you can guide them a lot. I don't get the parents who won't do that for their kids. I find it sad. [/quote]
