[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Health first. There’s always some kind of college a kid can get into off cycle or start at before transfering. Or gap year. My kid had a lot of mental health issues, took SAT once with little prep (but could have skipped and applied TO), didn’t take AP tests because he wasn’t in a good place, and did Common app one weekend October of senior year. Didn’t apply anywhere with supplemental essays. Kid actually got in everywhere and ended up with surprisingly good options. Best of all he is doing much better. [/quote] My point is really that so much of it is optional or can be dealt with later.[/quote] I agree. (And I'm someone who would typically encourage juniors to start thinking about the process now. It's OK to set aside college applications until the student is feeling better. And if that requires waiting for a gap year, that's fine, too.)[/quote]
