[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and your spouse don’t know what to do…but you have a cc you’ve met with, kid has met with, kid has sat done/courses picked/summer job/college list?

Translation: we have done a tone of research about what is needed, we are doing ok and have lots of decisions and plans made. I am gonna act like I don’t know much so you all can tell me what I should know and do so I can capture anything else. [/quote]

OP: what?? DC did SAT because literally every junior was doing SAT/ACT. Courses picked for next year because every junior needs to submit senior course selection for department approval. Summer job confirmed because this is the same job DC always had. The college list was suggested by school CC. Yes I am asking what else we should do to learn from those BTDT, sensing a tone that this is somehow wrong? [/quote]

+ parents met w/ college counselor
+ kid met with college counselor 
+ have a rough college list
+ know who will ask to write letters of recommendation
+ DC worked on activity list 
+ DC worked on award list
+ DC submitted both award and activity lists to college counselor to review
+ took campus tours
+ asked DC to start looking at prompt questions 
+ asked DC to look into what each college asks for
+ asked DC to contact graduates from our high school who attend these colleges 
+ parents are now nagging a bit because kid isn’t so into the process now

Yeah, this is what every junior is doing/has done and you know nothing about the process. Send HELP[/quote]
