Doh. So the pp above who said I was three years late was not kidding.

Ugh. I feel like I have to start these with my son this summer. I also have another kid in middle school and one in elementary.[/quote]

They’re kidding. You’re fine. [/quote]

But the part about starting to set these up now is real, right?

I want to leave it up to my kids but they will likely be totally shut out. We have resources to help.[/quote]

NO. Besides, by the time your kid is a junior, everything will change.

Ask parents who developed well-rounded kids and ended up in a "pointy person" application world. 
Ask parents who wasted their kid's time and $$$$ on test prep and wound up in a test optional world. 
Ask parents who paid for super expensive "service trips" and "college experiences" and applied in a world were those were seen as pay to play scams.
Ask parents who used a college consultant who swore by the side-door, and then spent time in prison.
Ask parent who tried to do everything" right" by their kids and had kids apply in a world where immutable characteristics were most important.

Give your child the gift of a childhood. Give them experiences and support they things THEY become genuinely interested in. Let them be real people and the colleges will see them for who they are. Authenticity will be the next 'big ticket' to college.[/quote]
