[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have been through the college application process with 4 kids. What I found to work best with persistent, inquiring friends and family is to pick one school (it can be any school but we picked a likely school they loved) and focus your discussions with others on this one school. This was the only school revealed or dicussed outside our home. DC didn’t ever mention any other schools. For example, if asked my one DC would mention Auburn. DC visited and loved Auburn. This was a likely school for them. If asked about other schools DC would say, “I am on the hunt for schools I like as much as Auburn” or “I am not sure where else I am applying because I love Auburn so much.” Nosey people got what they wanted (info on where they were applying) and it sort of stopped the discussion about schools. This DC ended up enrolling in UVA, but never discussed this school with anyone. [/quote]
