One thing top colleges don’t want applicants to remember.

Do this next time your child feels discouraged or overwhelmed by their college ambitions…

The stress of college admissions can drastically change how our children see themselves.

And how they see themselves affects how they approach the admissions process.

I bring this up because I’ve seen what happens when a student puts competitive colleges on a pedestal…

They begin to doubt their own value.

But here’s the thing…

Every college depends on:

  • The tuition money…

  • A diverse and engaged student body…

  • Alumni donations…

But most importantly…

Their students’ talent.

That really is what makes schools prestigious.

So next time your child feels discouraged or overwhelmed by their college ambitions…

Remind them that colleges rely on their unique perspective and unlimited potential much more than they rely on any single college.

They are unique, bring a valuable perspective, and have unlimited potential. 

College is simply the vehicle for maximizing that potential.

And one day…

Their accomplishments could inspire future students’ dream college lists. 

Remind your child of this whenever the stress and competition threaten how they see themselves.

Has your child ever experienced this?
