This is harsh. As a caregiver, sometimes situations arise where you need close family to help, because there are things to be done that other people don’t know how to do or don’t want to do. Having just experienced a two week stay at a sort of nursing home, because I had to leave on an emergency trip, my spouse would assure you, that the care there is nothing compared to what your family can give you at home.
In any case, what I have read about schools, freshman year is practically a write off. The only thing going against 5his student is the sheer number of applicants to these schools. Being full pay though, they definitely have an advantage at schools without huge endowments. (Just finished reading “Who Get’s In and Why,” which was an eye opener).
