Can you get a meeting with them and the college guidance counsellor? Our counsellor did a talk with the parents where they ask to parents to advise, but not to interfere. They ask the parents to trust the child with the process.

I think it would be a good idea for you to present an early stage list of possible schools and explain the reason each school would be good. Also if they cover 100% of need based aid and if they give merit scholarships. I think you will have to ask them to let you pick schools on the basis of a good fit for you and your goals rather than by location. I think it’s a great idea to offer to add some schools in the area, while you learn more about everything. But right now you are just a junior so this may all be too early.
