[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is playing a fall sport, a club sport, is in 3 ap classes and volunteers on weekends, and is applying to a couple special programs with unique requirements in addition to the reach/target/ safety thing. [b]She started the essays, but I’m finishing them for her to proofread. [/b]I’m handling the common app profile, fafsa, css, college board, and everything else that goes along with this process. The whole thing is very bureaucratic and it’s unrealistic to ask a hs senior to know how to navigate it.[/quote]

Super lame. [/quote]

Agreed. You’re finishing the essays? And doing the Common App? What the…[/quote]

DP. Nope, neither of us are. Not ok at all to write their essays for them. If your kids can’t do that part, they’re either not cut out for the schools they’re applying to or they’re not cut out for the current schedule they have.[/quote]

Or applying to colleges is a ridiculous process that is darn near a full time job.[/quote]

It is. And if your kid has a full plate of ECs, sports and advanced classes, something has to give.

Or else, many parents hire the $$$$ counselors who do everything for the kid (including applying directly via the Common App)..... You could go that route?

Novel idea - help your own offspring off - it's free. It's your last time. Your kid is still a minor. You won't have any regrets.[/quote]

There’s a huge difference between helping your kid out and writing their essays for them. [/quote]
