[quote=Anonymous]Create a new college only email address. Have student list it when taking PSAT. So nice to have the thousands of college emails all go to one place! I’d also start talking about what colleges might be interesting and what factors matter (size, location, program). Attend some virtual presentations this summer and develop a list of where to visit. If possible, do some visits this summer. Think about the parts of the application. What activities are most important to your child? Any leadership potential there? Get to know teachers in junior year, will need 1-2 to write a recommendation letter. As parents, look at finances and net price calculators to determine costs, limits, and approach (EA, ED, OOS, merit/financial aid). It’s a big decision for a young person and good to start thinking and planning early. It can be a really fun process to see them grow and mature. Enjoy it![/quote]
