[quote=Anonymous]Not as far as I would have liked, given what a tough courseload and time-intensive sport DS will have in the fall.

SATs and SAT subject tests are out of the way (don't panic if your kid hasn't done SAT subject tests, very few schools require them but unfortunately DS will apply to a couple).

We did an intensive week of college tours to get an idea of what different environments are like (large private, small private, large public, urban, suburban, in the middle of nowhere etc.). We don't have the time and money to visit all the schools DS might want to apply to so our representative sample will have to do and has given him a better idea of what he wants.

He's started a school list.

He has NOT made any progress on his essays. He's not a kid who likes to write, and between his summer job, his summer course getting a tech requirement out of the way for MCPS, and his girlfriend/friends, I think we are out of time for him to have much buckle-down time left in the summer. I'm frustrated but I shouldn't be surprised. He is a procrastinator and a slow processor and I think the fall is going to be hell, but I'm not going to stand over him to get words on the page.[/quote]
