Sounds like your kid doesn’t have ADHD, congrats to you. Some of us are trying to help our kids apply to college or else they might not even go. And maybe they’ll fail out once they’re there. I hope you are extra smug when we have to tell you about that.

Some parents are on Canvas daily. For those parents, they have to control the college application process as well.

OP means the common app portal

I could see what had been done in Scoir with my own login, but I never had access to my daughter’s individual university portals. Daughter and counselor took care of everything. I’m sure there are plenty of parents who micromanage everything, but that’s one of the things we paid for at our private school, and I was glad to have it off of my plate.

Of course not.

My kids did this, not me.

Parent of a HS senior. I don’t even know my senior’s common app password. My kid has done it all herself.

I did not check my kid’s portal but I did tell
Them to keep and eye on deadlines and reminded them from time to time. It’s different for everyone. Maybe I could have or should have? My kid’s done with the process so I’ll never know….

Spoke to a mom who told me that she regularly checks her kid's portal to make sure all materials are in. I asked if her kid ever checks it and she said her kid doesn't even know the passwords. The mom seemed pretty proud of herself for helping her DC navigate the application process. Is it common for parents to be this involved and kids uninvolved? Seems a bit much to me.
