[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it hasn't hit yet, but my HS junior who seems on track with heavy AP courseload, taking SAT, a few college visits  etc. doesn't seem overwhelmed/stressed yet.  Just sort of plugs away and has plenty of time for other interests/down time.  Hoping to keep it that way for senior year, are there any who have BTDT advice for how to spend junior summer to ease the stress in senior year?  His current plan is to work on his essays and narrow down schools and take subject SATs as needed--but that doesn't seem like it will take that much time.  He's aiming for--and seems to be at the median in scores/grades for--top public in-state schools  (e.g. UVA, William & Mary) .  I'm not sure if he's fully reckoned on whether he'll be happy with being far above the median in another public VA school if he doesn't get into UVA/W&M or if he'll need to look elsewhere for safeties.  Listening to you all, I'm worried that he's in the calm before the storm and wondering if we can help him batten down the hatches a bit more this summer so our last year with him home is one we can all really enjoy.[/quote]
