  • GAS — The Gradual Admission Strategy for 9th and 10th Graders

    By Neil Chyten, the Chyten Center

    You may be loath to ask your 15-year-old daughter to think about college campuses and dormitory life and majors. No one would blame you. After all, it is difficult enough to get a 9th grader to think about cleaning his room or washing her hands, or to answer a question about homework. But…college? Is it even appropriate to ask a student 15 year old, perhaps just a few months out of middle school, where she would like to spend her 20th birthday? Of course, the answer to that question is no.
