[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 16 yo twin boys who are juniors and neither one has been proactive about looking at colleges or studying for SATs. They both take a full course load of AP classes and are in clubs, etc. We’ve been on one college tour and neither had much to say about it. I’m hoping the motivation will start to kick in when they see their friends get more into it. [/quote]

I had to check the date on this a couple times to make sure I didn’t write this last year. My twins are now 17 and seniors. One thing that helped them get motivated was visiting people they know at college. They’ve both stayed overnight separately with their older sister and visited other kids we know at their schools. Seeing college life up close made it click that this stressful process actually leads to getting the keys to the castle of independence and fun. I could almost see the wheels turning. They also each fell in love with one of the schools they visited which helped with internal drive but added nerves. One is in ED, the other is still waiting to hear. [/quote]
