<p>Applepear - has your son read this thread and other Kelley threads on College Confidential? If not, perhaps that would help him to see the strategic value of following bthomp1’s advice. If he has read these threads and chooses to ignore the advice - well, that’s part of becoming an adult…making decisions and living with the good/bad consequences that follow. </p>
<p>As a parent, I know - easy advice to give / hard to follow. </p>
