[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this, but just help them guys. Most of the common app is just stuff an executive assistant would put in for their boss. Serve as the executive assistant. Type in your address and where you went to college and all that crap stuff that’s in the common app. Let them do the substantive pieces of their writing, asking for recommendations, choosing the colleges. The rest is really just filling out forms. If you buckle down this weekend you could get his his or her main one for early admission submitted.[/quote]
OP here. I agree with you, PP!  I already did the stuff like the address etc that doesn't require her input.  I'm going to wait a little longer, and if she doesn't get around to filling out her activities and what majors she is interested for each college, I'll just make my best guess. [/quote]

(I hated the fact that all Admitted STudents Days seemed to span the same two weekends. In different parts of the country . And I think you were only allowed to miss two school days to tend to all of this. While they are taking AP's!)
I wish the colleges and high schools could coordinate, so high school demands subsided during the crucial few weeks between admissions and decisions. Perhaps, this will be less of an issue this year, due to COVID,
Though I will say that overnight visits to her accepted schools actually did help my daughter a lot with her final decision. [/quote]
