[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter told you her choice. Can you imagine telling her, “wrong choice, you will be going to X school?” If you did do that, would you be prepared for her resentment if she dislikes your choice next year? I’d let my kid go with UVA (a very well respected school) and never bring up the other school again. If she keeps hearing the “what if?” , she may grow to resent you. It’s time to listen to her. It’s her college education and experience.[/quote] I appreciate your thoughts but rest assured, I am listening to her. Remember, she already rejected Northwestern, Berkeley, Michigan, etc. If I had my choice she would be going to one of these (I'm not going to share which one because I don't want the thread to derail). But I absolutely kept my mouth shut at that juncture and I'll do it again. It's just helpful to verbalize some thoughts to strangers. [/quote]
