[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We applied early and knew by the end of Nov.  I don’t understand why students wait.  Do you?[/quote]

“We applied early”?

Did you apply to college too? [/quote]

As in family.  Parents are paying the tuition.[/quote]

Yeah, of course they are. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s the kid’s process and the kid’s life.

But you know — you’ve got OP up there stressing about her kids’ applications seemingly more than they are.[/quote]

Oh give it a rest.  Parents can be just as invested (or not, in your case) whether they like to or not.  To each their own.  [/quote]

They can. But it doesn’t make it healthy.

I’m so happy my parents didn’t participate in my application process at all.

[b]I plan to stay out of my kid’s process.[/b][/quote]

LOL. Wait til your smartest kid decides he wants to study anthropology at Florida Gulf Coast University because he intends to get buff & tan & bang a bunch of babes.[/quote]
“Oh and by the way, FGCU costs $100,000/yr, so better delay that retirement, dad.”

Not being involved “at all” in the college application process is like buying a house without even seeing a picture of it. When 18 year olds can again afford college on the proceeds of a summer job, parents will happily duck out of the picture. [/quote]

I was class of 2009 for college. It was expensive.

My parents trusted my college counselor and I to handle it. [/quote]

and [i]me[/i].

My college counselor and me.

Go eat a praise sandwich, Millennial. 
You have no power here.

Go obsess over your kid’s college application, while you talk about how “we’re applying to college.” [/quote]

Why are you even here? Your kid hasn’t even applied to college yet. Yet here you are, not just reading but actively participating in the discussion on the college forum in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. Is this what “staying out of the process” looks like?[/quote]
