[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least it is electronic now, and there is a common app. Really, college is work. If they can't motivate to do this (not that it is fun), consider whether they are not on track for the next phase of their lives. (Though I will say, we have somehow managed to beat all of the fun out of senior year. I wish there were no AP's and kids could just start college level work when they start college!)[/quote] Nah. My son has had straight As at a tough private in a very rigorous schedule. Always self-motivated. Never had to check up on him. Studied for standardized tests, scored 5s on every AP and the college essays are a huge PIA. They feel phony and ridiculous. Just have them turn in a graded paper and use scores, gpa and recs. I think it’s also like the end of the marathon- making it to Jan of senior year. It’s almost there, have to keep chugging…[/quote]
