When you kids doesn't like any schools $$ starts to matter or is it just me?

S is pre-vet. When he was an upcoming Jr. we started visiting colleges and he was totally unimpressed with anything. He felt it was too early to be looking but we had to due to time constraints and school rules about taking off. By the time he was a rising Sr. he was very interested and even liked some of the schools he was unimpressed with his Jr. year. The difference was night and day. We are in TX too but he just didn’t like the TX schools, particularly A&M, so ended up going OOS but with very good merit scholarships and his credentials were similar to your D’s but lots of pre-vet related ECs.

D is two years post high school. She just finished her first college class at a CC and is doing her second now. No clue what she wants to do. She is thinking about taking 12 or 13 hours this fall, quitting her full-time job and getting a part time one. I don’t really think she is ready. She says she wants to go away to college next year but won’t research, visit or take any real interest in the process. For this child we are not giving her OOS options. Small LACs in state are the only options that would even possibly work for her. Her lack of interest in ANYTHING other than boys drives me nuts!

Your daughter will do fine. Give her some time.
