Early decision and scholarship

Just sliding this out there, very gently and kindly:

Be careful with plural pronouns: there is only one person writing and sending in applications. I know- you are knee-deep in getting them there! and the distinction may seem subtle, but it matters now, and will matter more and more throughout this year and next. Next September “we” aren’t going to college.

Applications take a lot more work than most parents and students expect- when the Collegekids first started doing applications the mantra was ‘consider the workload as equal to another subject at school’. Merit hunting often involves a lot more applications than average, and student burn-out is real!
