Seniors and senior parents,
By now, most of you who are college-bound have begun to tackle the daunting application process. I’m sure that most of you have felt the pressure of adjusting to various school and social conditions, SAT/ACT, virtual meetings (aren’t we all ‘Zoomed’ out?), and the general condition of being a teenager or a parent of one. When I used to work for SMU, I used to tell rising seniors the following quote: “Applying for college is an activity that you didn’t know you signed up for.” I’ve you heard or seen me refer to this quote, then I’m sure that you understand the depth and meaning by now.
I’ve worked with quite a number of seniors and their applications from an array of local districts this year. Application season is in mid-swing, and for schools that have an Early Action or Early Decision process, applications will be HOT until early November. It’s not too late to seek help, so find me if you have any questions, are lost in the application or how/where to apply, have an unexpected number of essays or personal statements to write, or if you’re just generally frustrated by the process. You can count on me to be the seasoned professional to help you navigate, especially in these ever-changing times.
FYI, for some parents, I can also be the voice of reason for your student. They might not always listen to ‘mom or dad’, but they’ll listen to me. Keep that in-mind, parents, especially if you’re unsure how to proceed. I can help them put forth a plan and hold them accountable. I can take some of your stress away!
By the way, as students often have virtual classes, I can be available at times during the day, whether virtually or in-person (at your discretion, masks included as necessary). Find me if you would like to set up a consultation, review essays, help with applications, discuss the test-optional vs ACT/SAT process, holistic review, etc. I’m here for you!
