[quote=Anonymous]DD really enjoyed the visits, as did we. In fact, the visits are what shifted her from feeling anxious and scared about college to feeling excited, which put her in a good headspace for starting apps.

She did a few interviews and enjoyed most of them with the exception of one at a safety. Most of the interviews added to her excitement about various schools.

I don't think she would say that she "enjoyed" the application process. The hardest time was when she was starting the essays over the summer and experienced the reality check of needing to draft/redo/revise to a degree she never had before for school writing. There were one or two tear-filled evenings over this. But I think she felt competent with the process overall and seemed to feel pleased with her finished product. She completed all of her apps by mid-November (9 schools) and was admitted to her ED, which I'm sure helped. Probably also helped that her stats were high for her ED and she felt pretty confident about admittance. Full disclosure - she had a college counselor who did a great job coaching her through planning and pacing all the steps. This kept everyone's stress levels down considerably.[/quote]
