[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 boys who have successfully attended college and graduated in 4 years ( without going to summer school) and my DH and I helped with applications. The kids wrote the essays and we navigated every school's website and nuances (sending SAT score etc). My kids went to selective schools so there were very few common app only schools.  Do any of you realize some schools can have 7-8 additional essays in addition to the common app? The application process is nuts and very time consuming. Many of you will balk a this, but my kids each applied to 12 schools. When you are looking for merit and selective schools, it is imperative that you cast a wide net. This board is very quick to shout Community College and gap year. Disregard and help him. Good luck.[/quote]

If you're looking for merit money, the schools aren't even selective and it's pretty straight forward where you're going to get the most money. Sounds like you're just a bored SAHM who was living through your kids during the admissions process. No need for a dozen apps - especially if the kids didn't have the time to process them themselves.[/quote]

Now we've got the bitter working parent chiming in to throw an insult about SAHMs.  PP please ignore that.  Posts from those that have been through this are helpful.[/quote]
