[quote=Anonymous]We're in this now. My son is planning to apply to about 8, might pare that back by 1 or 2. The top and middle of the list are great - I am pushing him to focus on the bottom, in case he doesn't get into his reach schools and we can't afford his match schools. It's hard to get him to focus on schools where he really doesn't want to go - but I have told him his list must have at least 1 school that we can afford and that he will definitely get into.

On the bright side - he submitted his first Early Action application last night. It was a surprisingly big moment for him psychologically to have officially become a college applicant.

He has a schedule that basically has him completing one application every weekend between now and the end of November. His private school requires that the students submit their application at least 3 weeks prior to the deadline - when he turns in the application confirmation to the College Counseling Office, that initiates their process of gathering transcript, recommendations, etc. I don't think that 3 weeks is necessarily a hard and fast rule, but we are making him stick to it.[/quote]
