  • It is a source of pride for you to know your child has been admitted to the college and major of your choice, where your teenager will excel, be given opportunities, and learn a lot.
  • The best way of keeping perspective on the likelihood of getting into college is to truly dig into data.  
  • It is important for your student to be clear on their reason for entering college, which is anything from a fun adulting experience to opportunities to develop skills to being credentialed for a future job 
  • Parental pressure and expectations must be managed for students to be empowered.
  • As a parent, your honesty through engaging in real conversations and showing great career counseling support is essential to know your teen is on the right path.
