Here is a list of helpful links that informed our family’s understanding of the admissions process. The idea for a list goes to jmmom and Sybbie, and now Jym626. Thank you to the many experienced posters and their generous contributions—our family has been well-served. The list is by no means definitive and has not been updated. So please feel free to add any favorites you might have.

Jym, I added a separate category for Logistics of the College Send Off that might encompass your suggestions. I also changed my last category from “Parenting” to Advising Your College Student, as the current threads show great interest in helping students manage academic/social issues.

Hope this is helpful. -3Ks
