[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, things have really changed since I applied to college about 20 years ago. I don’t think my parents knew any of the various deadlines or pieces of the applications and definitely didn’t know which teachers I asked for recs (let alone writing the requests for me) or what I wrote my essays about. They took me to visit colleges but I handled the entire app process myself soup to nuts. Kept track of the deadlines, filled out the apps (by hand back then), compiled everything and mailed it off. Was accepted to multiple Ivys. I wasn’t planning on doing what it sounds like most on this thread are doing for my kids (still in elementary) but maybe I’ll be in for a rude awakening. [/quote] It's way harder now Dude.[/quote] How is it harder? Do you mean the competition is more intense or the process itself is harder? (I’m asking seriously, I’m not there yet with my kids.)[/quote]
