Reality sets in and application is unfinished

While visiting w/friends this week, the talk was about college. Most of us didn’t have a clue what we were doing when applying to schools. Some of us also said we would’ve applied to more reaches if we could do it over again.
DH was accepted to an ivy but chose a state school because his parents were afraid of the $$ even though he was offered a full ride. He ended up attending a “reachy” school for his postgraduate work instead on his own dime.
So, this is why I’m so invested in my kids’ college search. It’s better to experience a little inconvenience now and have choices later - little or no regrets.
