<p>Interestingly, I was first generation born in the US, and my parents, although professionals, didn’t have a clue about the college admissions process (plus this was decades ago!). I was responsible for researching schools on my own, etc., just telling my folks where and when they were needed to drive me and to fill out forms. I’m wondering if it’s an ethnic thing because I kind of see that with my relatives in the PI who aren’t necessarily pushing their kids to study hard so they’ll get into the best colleges. They do push them, but I don’t think they push them as hard my H and I pushed our kids. Mmm.</p>
