[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK i'm crashing your thread- sorry. I just find your tone really self-satisfied and know-it-all.
 I know kids last year who crashed and burned with your "mellow out" strategy. NOt all family can afford to be "chill." Not all kids have their act together by senior year. Some kids have ADHD or learning differences and need support through the process. This process can be overwhelming for neurotypical kids as well. The applications are complex and it's the first time kids have done this. I am not advocating a hostile takeover of the process but being a helpful sounding board is reasonable. Also it's the biggest investment I'll make as an adult so, yeah, if looking over an essay for typo's helps my kid get merit aid- I'm down for that.[/quote]

NP and it’s not about ADHD etc, it’s all about personality.  We are a year away from applications and we will be like OP with our oldest.  He has an IEP and ADHD but is super laid back and already telling us he wants to go somewhere low pressure that wants him, no reach needed.  He’s also not stressed at all and happy with the idea that anyone can go to community college as a back up and save money too.  These are all his words, it’s not us.  We will help him if he wants and let him guide the way.

Now our type A younger NT kid is going to be a different story when the time comes for college.  We won’t have an easy going application process.  [/quote]
