Thought I would resurrect this thread. Now that admission decisions are rolling in and kids are seeing the hard work on the applications pay off, are your kids starting to demonstrate cold feet? In particular, are they questioning their proposed major, especially if they were accepted into a School of _____ at their top college picks?

I think I talked DS, HS senior, off the ledge yesterday. I mainly want him to know that this is a time for exploration and you shouldn’t necessarily ignore the cold feet, but use them as an excuse to think and explore options.

I have seen it said on the parents’ forum that kids change a lot between application submission and decision date, so just looking for advice on this.
