[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two best pieces of advice (echoing some given above). 1. Start the Common App in August. There is absolutely no reason not to have all the factual stuff complete before school starts and ideally at least a good (if not final) draft of the personal statement. This really relieves a lot of stress and helps contribute to a senior year your kid can actually enjoy. 2. Have a Financial Safety school - one you know will accept your kid, that you can afford, and that they can see themselves attending if all else fails. If you don't have a Financial Safety, then you really don't have a Safety School at all.[/quote] Is a personal statement the same as the common app essay? Or is it something different? -signed another parent of a junior following this thread[/quote]
