[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I welcome anyone who has let their kids fill out their own applications, have NOT hired a counsellor or coach, and are letting this be their kids journey, not theirs.

Please come on in and share your stories!

Here’s mine - DD refused to let us look at her essays and supplementals - not even just to proofread.  Wasn’t about to fight with her on that. She’s got a good head on her shoulders and I’m sure she will end up exactly where she belongs![/quote]

We have not hired a counselor or coach, and my DD chose her own schools and is filling out her own applications, but has asked me and others for feedback on essays. However, I am not chill because while she is including safeties, where she really wants to go is a reach school, her older sister is there and I know she will be devastated (at first at least) if she does not get in. I tell her that I know she will end up where she is meant to be and that she will be a rock star wherever she ends up. But internally, I want her to get in to her top choice so badly.
