[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to think further out than just getting into a prestigious college. What does your child want to be doing when he or she is 45? Now work backwards from there. What jobs does he/she need to be doing at 40? 35? 30? Any graduate school required? What are the requirements to get into a graduate school that will get him where he needs to be at 30? What colleges will get him to one of those graduate schools? Etc etc… But everything he is doing now should be looking beyond “a good college”. If you’re building your resume backwards, the “good” college will come. And you will find “good” means “college that will be prepare me for the next step” and not “college that will impress mom’s coworkers”.[/quote]
