| Any child who needs her parents' full-time "help" with college isn't being prepared well for college itself.
I'm in the same situation as pedrossi. My parents hardly know where I've applied. I've examined all the requirements, have taken all the tests, have sent them out without their knowing or caring, have sent emails and updates to my various schools, have scheduled the interviews myself, &c. I composed my essays solely by myself and without any guidance; my mom read them only the night before I sent them out, and only at my request. I just don't think parental (or guidance counselor) involvement is really necessary, and certainly not at this level. |
