[quote=Anonymous]It was tough to fit in everything.  When they had competing demands we stressed grades/classwork came first, then EC’s, then test prep.  Also worked on a balance college list early so I could sign up/plan visits the limited time we had and could minimize missing school and ECs.  Basically between Presidents’ Day weekend, spring break, and Easter break junior year we covered most of the further away college visits. For popular schools I had to be ready to sign up for the tour when they opened up the date.

I didn’t really check grades by junior year but I would pay attention to progress reports and near end of the grading cycle when they had those on the cusp grades, maybe that B- that they need to fight to make sure it didn’t become a C or that B+ that had a chance of an A - I feel like for both kids foreign language was that class.

Other than that at a certain point you find the college that fits your kids profile and there isn’t much more they can do than have a good strategy for applying (EA, ED, balanced list etc.) and writing good essays.[/quote]
