College Admission Process- How to avoid messing it up for your child?

Prepare a vague generic response for people who want to know where your child is applying, and later, where they were accepted. It will give your child and your family some privacy and space. Eventually you may need a similar response for where s/he chooses to attend. Maybe you/they don’t want to broadcast that they didn’t get into Harvard, or go into the reasons they chose State U over Yale or Vassar.
