Harvard, Schmarvard

Recently, I wrote What Colleges Don’t Tell You, an attempt to help the college- and graduate-school bound make a more eyes-open decision about whether to attend college.

In my PsychologyToday.com article today, I assume you’ll be going to college or graduate school. I address two important, too often unasked questions: 

Should you attend the most selective institution possible?

Should you take a gap year to reenergize and gain real-world experience?

Should Your Child Take a Gap Year?

Malia Obama is taking a "gap year" before becoming a freshman at Harvard.
Should your child should take one? And, if so, how can s/he make the most of it? 

I address those questions in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
