[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have procrastinators too. My kid cried the day before the early deadlines a couple of years ago (mid-covid, yeah there were some delays in development). Nothing was ready.

Time for a quick sit-down at the kitchen table with the computer. Go over the list with deadlines together. Offer to do any clerical parts. Offer to read over essays and suggest edits - google docs comes in handy here. Have her write in google docs and share the doc for your comments. Or offer to have some other trusted adult read over the essays (dad, aunt/uncle, family friend, etc), someone who can give quick feedback.

I agree with the PP who suggested that getting the first app in is a big hurdle - then the Common App is done, and the remaining apps merely involve supplemental essays.

While she is working on essays, check the school websites to see if any require an official score report before admission (vs self-reporting test scores in app). Get those ordered.

By the way, my son who literally cried at the thought of writing essays the day before they were due for several apps is now mid-way through an engineering degree and doing fine. Ignore the trolls and focus on the task at hand. You aren't the only one in this situation - it will be ok.[/quote]
