[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One advice from the other "regrets" thread. Worth repeating here.  
Create a seperate private email account for your child to use for applications, internship requests and PSAT/SAT/ACT and APs. Make sure that you also have access and keep checking the spam folder too. [/quote]

Do you plan on going to college with DC as well to make sure they’re doing their assignments?  Unbelievable.[/quote]

I didn't post the first message, but I find it unbelievable you don't recognize that every kid and situation is different. I agree that having a shared account for college applications, internships, testing, etc. was helpful. I had one son who did everything on his own two years ago and another who just needed additional assistance this year. This was an unprecedented year with the stress of covid, online school, the uncertainties around the college admissions process, the FASFA/CSS documentation, virtual tours, etc. Compared to two years ago, the admissions process this year was much more complicated and required some strategic thinking/planning to get into the best possible school that our kid would enjoy, be successful attending, and provided the best value. We didn't write essays although we did review and provided suggestions so having access to a shared account was helpful.  In retrospect, having a shared account with our other son would have been helpful to allow us to guide him through the process.
