[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools that dc applied to are sending 90% of follow-up emails only to him.  I don't have access to his email and all I can do is ask whether he is getting communications about financial aid, the need for more information/documentation, etc.  He says no and usually stomps out of the room but I don't believe it to be true.  I understand he will be an adult soon and will need to keep on top of these things once he goes off to college but can't stop thinking he is screwing himself out of money, etc. because he is being so lazy.  Just let him deal with the consequences of being at community college because he missed deadlines?  His attitude is making me question whether he even wants to go to college.[/quote]

Why does he stomp out of the room? It sounds like you and he have other problems.[/quote]

Not OP, but earlier in the process my DD would shut down when I wanted to check the emails.  I think was a combination of not wanting me telling her what to do, not wanting me near her phone, and anxiety/denial that college is right around the corner.  Once we started going through the emails, we found little gems like a code for an application waiver, or an invite to talk to a peer at a college she really likes, or yes even merit offers.  So now DD is checking the emails on her own and forwards noteworthy emails to me.  We also do another review together about once a week.

OP, Maybe talk to your DC to see if there is anything on his mind that is making him apprehensive about college. Sometimes a talk like that can go a long way.
