[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t help them you’ll be stuck with them[/quote] ha! That was my fear with one of my kids. NP here with three in college. OP, can you work with them (but one-on-one)? I think the college application process is so crazy, it's like the nuclear arms race. It's overwhelming. If you can help them break it down into manageable pieces that might help. With one kid, we talked about the essay for 5 minutes or so. Then I set the timer for 15 minutes and told her to vomit forth whatever she could for that time, no editing or going back...and we'd review it the next day. Once they get a few essays under their belt, a lot of this is repetitive. And if they get one target college app done, then they feel like there is a big chip in the application mountain and then rest goes easier.[/quote]
