[quote=Anonymous]I told DS he had to finish the Common App and Essay by the end of summer.  I think he did it the last week of summer, but he got it done.  His Dual enrollment English teacher had their first assignment as a Common App Essay which they peer reviewed, and then he reviewed.  I thought that was a great idea.  DS actually acknowledged how great it was that he had already done that essay, since many of his friends had not, and were stressing.  He just polished off the one he did, and was done quickly.  We have only visited 3, but he has 2 school visits tomorrow and one in person on Monday at Mary Washington.  I think we might have 1-2 more visits.  Of the 3 visited, DS feels pretty strongly that he loves one (willing to apply to the other 2).  He is contemplating whether to apply binding early decision, but I am worried that if the merit aid/honors program funds do not come through, that could be a mistake.  Do you think that doing binding early decision would mean a less likely chance of merit aid than if they knew you were shopping around?  Oh, and just now realized that we had forgotten to turn in the parent/student info form to the counselor for the recommendation!!  Yikes, just turned that in tonight.
