<p>Not to derail the thread, but how does one present advice when the student does not like the choices? Please do not suggest that it is his/our mistake, that he should have loved the safeties - I know. The fact is - he does not. And, after two revisits, he is going back and forth between two schools that are both larger than he would have liked to attend - good merit offers at both - but he’s not happy with either…</p>
