[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Where you go to grad/professional school is more important than where you go to college for career trajectory. 2. Mental health going into college is key for freshman year to go well. Do not go to college burned out or on fumes. Being emotionally stable and strong and going to a medium prestige school is better long-term than obsessively chasing high stats to chase a high prestige school. 3. We the parents are the clients, not the colleges. We don't need to say "how high?" when colleges say "jump". Put your kid and what they want ahead of the college you want for your own ego. 4. The goal is happiness, emotional stability and self-actualization for you kid. Nothing more, nothing less.[/quote] this is insightful, and I needed this reminder - thank you![/quote]
