[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 seniors this year. We let them take the lead 95% of the time. We helped by planning tours when we were on vacation/spring breaks/etc starting their sophomore year, chunking up tasks (because the process was overwhelming to kids with ADHD), proof reading essays, and proof reading the Common App with them before submitting.

They did 1 8 hr SAT prep class that was part of a school fund raiser
No college admissions counselor
No forcing them to do activities they weren't interested in just for the sake of padding their resume.

Both have gotten into all 6 schools they applies to (still waiting on UMD) - not top 25 ones, but that isn't who they are.

Agree. The process should be about nurturing your child to grow into themselves and then finding the college that can support that. Not starting with a particular college goal and molding the child to fit that.[/quote]
