I’ve decided to leave the thread closed.
For many reasons, not least of which is privacy, we prefer that threads be about yourselves or your children. In some instances, the moderators have discretion to allow threads that can only help the applicant, even if not the OP’s child. Examples include FGLI, limited experience / resources within the student’s immediate sphere, etc.
This thread does not fall into those categories. Of course, if the parents or kids in this situation want to post, they are certainly welcome to do so.
