My S2 was not the least bit interested in checking out schools from all over, comparing options, etc. He took the SAT once. His score was low. He had no interest in re-testing. When I told him he would have limited choices, he said he would go wherever his scores would take him! I let it go. Didn’t push him/force him to do anything.
He applied to two directional state u’s. and was accepted to both before Xmas of senior yr. He chose the one he liked the most. We were done. He loved his college and would not have done anything differently. He graduated in four years, got a job three months later, moved in a rental house w/ friends and is doing well.
