[quote=Anonymous]Rising senior parent year- if our summer is an appetizer for my child’s stress level, it will be senior year for sure.

This summer my kid is volunteering (2 weeks/40 hours each), preparing for SAT with prep (wants better score), writing college apps, visiting colleges, taking Health B, starting one year long required school year projects there are two, participating in a competitive pre-college program for several weeks out of state etc.

I’m also the parent who posted about my child being rejected for a teacher recommendation mid summer. Teacher decides who to recommend after AP scores come out and my kid had an A average 4 on exam.  Just wonder if this rejection is a harbinger of an increasingly competitive environment overall for everything and how my child overall with admissions.

Rejections during the school year are going to be tough/ distracting.  While my kid is not applying to super elite schools probably ones in the 30-100 range, if rejected it will be hard.  Coupled with this my kid will be taking 6 AP level classes and 1 honors.

I was so concerned about next years schedule that I asked to meet with counselor over the summer and she thinks my kids schedule is “doable”, given my kid’s junior year performance.
