[quote=Anonymous]CC is a double edged sword. I know about it but didn't tell my DC about it early in HS, and steered DC away affirmatively once he found out about it until deep into junior year. At that point - as I saw hopes about admission to the most selective schools starting to turn to overly rosy expectations -- I shared some of what I learned form it. The insane admissions threads actually helped keep things in perspective and dampen expectations a bit which was helpful at that point - and motivated him a bit to push that extra mile the summer before senior year, in writing essays, etc. As it turned out, our DC also got into his first choice school and is thrilled. I agree lots of other useful parent info on cc, but I would keep kids away from it unless and until there is a reason to use it (as was our situation I think) b/c of the added stress it can cause.
