[quote=Anonymous]You must be in charge of the process. Do not depend on the counselor to do more than set deadlines. Make and keep a spreadsheet on Google Drive. Make a spreadsheet that lists the colleges, the contact info, deadlines, score ranges, scholarships, method of applying, and costs. No need to make the dinning room into command central when an iPad can do it all. Make sure you set reminders on phones and computers to give plenty of warning before due dates. Keep on track any and all updates to your spreadsheet so you have everything accessible to you and daughter at all times. It is very helpful once she starts getting passwords to log into the various college accounts that track her application at each school. When someone calls and says we need that recommendation ASAP because it is missing in her file then that info is at your fingertips. After acceptances start rolling in you can add to spreadsheet what transfers for college credit at each school so you can see if she can start off as a junior or qualify for an honors program. Do not under any circumstances decide now what school you like or hate. By the time this is over you will grateful for whatever acceptances you get because you will have heard the heartache from others. Only form opinions after acceptances. visit a bunch of schools nearby that you have no intention of applying to because you will see that most schools are phenomenal.[/quote]
