Our daughter is about to enter Junior Year of High School, and my wife and I have been spending untold hours researching colleges that we feel fit her personality and scholastic abilities. We think we have it all figured out- what major (based on what she excels in, science and math), what area of the country (New England, we want her to live near us in Massachusetts), etc. She is super smart (4.0 and one of the top 5 students in her class). She has shown little interest in the research process so we have taken it over completely. We are hoping when we set up tours she will show an interest. I just don’t know if we are supposed to be making all the decisions. Our fear is she will just pick the school closest to us to commute (no interest in sharing a dorm room, as she is an only child). Her real passion is performance theater and she probably wants to do that but we want her to set her sights much higher since she is one of the top students in the school. Anybody have a similar situation?
