Is your child still undecided ....

Last year, our daughter chose the college of her heart as soon as they accepted her. She was on cloud 9 and sent the declines in for all schools except the one closest to home. She cried from April 25 until April 29 and finally decided she was not ready to go 6 hours from home. On April 30 we called the first college and rescinded her acceptance (they were kind enough to return our deposit) and drove the paperwork and money to the closer school.
She likes the academics but that is about all. She thought about transferring back to college of her heart for this fall but, while they would reinstate her scholarship, they declined to accept 9 credits. She has decided to stay where she is for next year.
Her mental health and ours had a wild ride.
