<p>Good Reasons a Student (she) Might Not want a Parent to know about an application</p>
<p>1) Her cousin got into that school and she knows that if it is known that she applied and she does not get in there will be no end of comments at family gatherings. </p>
<p>2) She wants to attend her mother’s college, but her dad wants her to attend his. Her mom’s school is a reach so unless she gets in it makes sense to keep the application secret.</p>
<p>3) Her mother cannot imagine that Harvard won’t take her, to keep her mother from going on about it she told her mom she would not apply. </p>
<p>4) Dad insists that she only apply to the local school but she is pretty sure that if he saw how much less it would cost if she gets into a school that meets full need he will change his mind. </p>
