[quote=Anonymous]I am a novice, but here are a few things we learned with our eldest: 1. Prep for and take the SAT/ACT during summer after sophomore year. Of course, I am talking about the normal environment, but probably still a good idea in test-optional environment. 2. All essays should be done summer after junior year. Do not let your kid convince you otherwise. There is no good time to deal with this during fall of senior year. 3. Do not underestimate the effect other students from your child's high school will have on your child's admissions prospects, at least in situations where the other students and your child are applying to the same schools. 4. Think about hiring someone to help, if only to reduce the tension between you and your child. Good luck![/quote]
