[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is in the same place, and I suspect the previous posters suggesting your child is not ready for college don't have older teens.  They will get crummy housing and not their first choice of classes, and hopefully, they'll learn.  It's ok and will be ok.  Promise.[/quote]

Without prompting my senior DS has:

--Signed up for a 2-day orientation. He asked about our vacation dates, scheduled it, and took the days off work since it's all day. I have no idea what date it is, and he told me he has prereqs for it that he needs to do

--Found a roommate on IG and applied for housing. We didn't talk about cost because he wanted a hall dorm so he doesn't have to clean a bathroom, so I assume it's the cheapest.

--Been coordinating with friends who are going to school to compare notes and ask questions.

--Forwarded me a payment plan email. I did say earlier that I needed all financial info promptly.

He's told me all of this. I did ask him to look up AP credits and said that I was concerned that he wouldn't have graduate in 4 years, prompting it to cost more. He got annoyed, said he would graduate in 4 years, and that he would handle it (i.e. the details of AP). That's been the extent of my involvement, for comparison's sake. [/quote]

My kid is doing a double graduation next week...high school and college. She coordinated it all by herself and is so smart she took all of her classes last month. All without prompting. Oh and she has a novel coming out at the end of the summer. Look for it...expected to be on the bestseller list. I'm such an amazing parent. [/quote]
