[quote=Anonymous]Every family takes this journey their own way.  We get a lot of assistance from our school so it makes our job easier.  We have been working on small bits of the process all along.  One family at our school has been doing formal college visits since 8th grade.  That’s not right for us so we haven’t done that, but they have found it invaluable.  Friends in different schools haven’t even thought about the process until their junior year and that works for them.  I don’t really think the when or how you handle the admissions process matters as much as doing the things that work best for each kid.  What drives me personally bonkers is when someone who has followed a different process gets pissy if they realize that they should have done some things differently.  I have bumped into that a couple times and I just have learned very quickly who to answer generally and vaguely and with whom I can answer more openly.

“Where is your daughter thinking of applying?”

General and vague answer:  “Anywhere we qualify for in state tuition.”

More honest answer:  “We have seen x, y, and z so far and y is leading the pack.”[/quote]
