[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are applying to 4 schools for 9th grade. I’m saying “we” because we the parents have to write essays and answer questions as well as our kid, so it feels like a family effort! My question is: how long is everyone spending on all of this?! It has taken hours already, just want to gauge whether we are massively overthinking it or if this is just the process. [/quote] We applied to one school last year and I spent 20+ hours over a four week period writing essays, requesting teachers’ and coach’s recs, and filling out forms including the financial aid application. I probably spent way more time than needed on the essays because I didn’t want to be the reason my DD didn’t get accepted. [/quote]
