[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, doing as much as you can during the summer before senior year is important. For the fall, DC dialed back on a major EC to free up time for supplemental essays and to build in some pure downtime with no commitments. Late in the summer, we talked with DC about his list of schools and culled two reach schools that would have also been financial reaches as well. Seemed like wasted energy to deal with extra supplemental essays for schools that seemed highly unlikely. He seemed relieved. One piece of advice from another senior parent - don't do any college visits in the fall. Better to wait to see where you get in and can afford before making extra trips. At this stage, 8 EA applications completed and one RD application left to do - and that's nearly done ahead of a Dec. 1 deadline. Now DC can focus on a few honors and scholarship applications.[/quote]
