[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would sometimes “kidnap” our college senior and spend a morning in a library or coffee shop working on apps, with the phone put away of course. Just get them to apply to your state school that you can afford that is a safety for them. Get that application done asap. If it’s a true safety there might not even be an essay. Then apply to the state school that is a target. After that, I’d back off and let the kid decide if they are doing any more apps. [/quote] This second part is great advice because part of the avoidance is fear. Once the kid has a decent acceptance in hand they can relax, the other apps are lower stakes, and this actually leads to more interest in the process. [/quote]
