[quote=Anonymous]I did this as a student in the early 1990s. Even then, the college search was stressful and exhausting. I wanted it over, and better in December than May. It has gotten tens, maybe hundreds of times, worse since then. I am grateful that my parents were genuinely supportive. They cared more about my happiness than they did about status-seeking BS. They have always been that way and we have a very good relationship as adults because of it. Get your ideals in order, OP. This is not a thing you want your child remembering about you. PS I picked a school that way WAY “beneath” my qualifications. They gave me great “merit aid,” every professor treated me like an intellectual peer, and I went to the #1-ranked graduate program in my field. Got a PhD. In light of all of that, any weird crap my parents hung onto would have looked even worse.[/quote]
