[quote=Anonymous]OP- sorry for the horrible people on here. Your kid is fine, in a great spot with stats- you certainly don't need to worry about improving test scores, etc. (some people at this point are scrambling to do so!). My advice would be to get the common app essay done before school starts, and get a good start on the supplementals- those will come out at most schools in about a week. My oldest kid had a "rough draft" of his CA essay done by Sept 1, but ended up rewriting & editing it until the deadline and then those supplementals really piled up. Needless to say, it was a much more stressful fall semester than we wished it had been. Especially when merit aid / ED deadlines are typically Nov. 1st. So our D26 knows that we want her CA essay completed by Aug. 15, and good rough drafts of supplementals by then, too. The good news is that you'll see common themes among most of the supplemental essays, so you can basically write 5-6 essays and tweak them to fit most schools. Good luck to you- expect some arguments & tears and know that you'll get through it (box wine helps)![/quote]
