[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have a high school senior with a strong GPA but completely mediocre SAT (not a national merit semifinalist) and no hooks. Nothing interesting about her at all. They think she's going to get into Harvard because she has almost all A's at her mediocre school. They're so clueless but I didn't want to be the pessimistic in-law from the big city.[/quote] Don't say anything, could save the parents a boat load of money. If she doesn't apply to safety school and doesn't end up accepted any where she could end up going to community college then getting accepted to more modest but decent university that is local. She will walk out of school with no loans and a great beginning. If more parents would consider this instead of telling your kid it is ok to owe 100k after getting out of college we would all be better off.[/quote]
