<p>Go, GFG! I agree with both lessons. We live on opposite ends of the country, but have the same issues! I agree with your assessment entirely.</p>
<p>Isn't it also about the best or good enough college? If it's only HYP, your kid is going to have to scramble and still might not get there, no matter how skilled and intelligent. What then? As a psychologist, it really bothers me that only a handful of schools are "good enough". IMO kids shouldn't have to deal with that.</p>
<p>Absolutely. It may not be a good fit for them. It's more important to find a fit for your kid than to brag that they are unhappy at HYP. The colleges are looking for fit as well.</p>
