[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I welcome anyone who has let their kids fill out their own applications, have NOT hired a counsellor or coach, and are letting this be their kids journey, not theirs.

Please come on in and share your stories!

Here’s mine - DD refused to let us look at her essays and supplementals - not even just to proofread.  Wasn’t about to fight with her on that. She’s got a good head on her shoulders and I’m sure she will end up exactly where she belongs![/quote]

Same.  DDs are very happy where they ended up.  The rejections were a surprise, and the acceptances were a surprise. They were within range, but we were/are very well aware of the crapshoot that is admissions, for qualified candidates.  We paid for a college acceptance service, but they flat out refused to go, and we just really had to trust their process, because (as we told DDs) - their school is where they are spending the next four years, not DH nor I.

I honestly do not understand parents who pull the reigns so tight, or how it could possibly be good for anyone. [/quote]
