[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ma’am. It is September. Why are you going nuclear in September? [/quote]

Because there are 4 weekends left and about 30 supplements to write by mid October?

Common app has not been started, etc.  We have this all x 2. [/quote]

OP here.  This was me again.

Am I way overreacting?

I just see there being 4 weekends left.  They can't do anything during the week due to huge amounts of homework and sports until 6:30pm. 
So we are facing 4 weekends for 30-40 supplements between them, Common App x 2, personal statements x 2, etc. 
Neither has spent any time online researching a college or reading a single email.

I am just feeling like things are really chaotic.  
Or is this all normal?

I get your stress, but the idea of either of you writing essays on behalf of your kids should olbe off the table entirely. Talk about setting them up to fail, not to mention a terrible moral example. Sounds like they are way overreaching if they are applying to the kind of schools that want tons of supplements.  If they can't even put a dent in that, those kind of schools may not be good fits anyway.
