[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]I don't know of a SINGLE 17 year old who was able to do all this by themselves. And I know some very intelligent, organized, college-focused 17 year olds[/b]!

I know some seasoned adults who would struggle if they had to do all that juggling on top of a regular work day, chores and sports (or whatever activities).

All the criticism you've unleashed on teens suffering through this process would be better served by demanding a complete overhaul of college admissions. The rest of the world does it differently. It's not like there aren't any other options! [/quote]

You are overstating this by a lot.  My DS is a senior and did his own spreadsheet and managed his own application process.  I definitely checked in but he made it clear he did not want my help. He did have me read his common app and asks for our credit card number when submitting apps. I think he is a great and unique kid but that's because I am his mom - I know that many kids can handle applications themselves.  I don't think the system needs a complete overhaul due to it being overly difficult.[/quote]
