[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] +1 Her choice. UVA isn't going to hold her back from anything. FWIW, my kid (not as much of an academic high achiever as OP's) turned down her highest ranked option to go to a mid-range LAC. It felt like a better fit to her and had a great program for her major. So, far, doing well and has had good summer internships. [/quote]
