At the risk of fast becoming the least popular parent on this forum, I’m going to play “tough love” again on this thread and suggest that perhaps the time for freaking out was last Friday.

While I understand that the other parents are being encouraging, I’d think about it this way: If applying to SPS is as important to you as you claim, why didn’t you make time for it?

There’s the expression “Where your treasure is, so will your heart be also.” I think the word “treasure” applies to time and not just money. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be.

Also, if you are having trouble with prioritization and time management now, how do you think you’ll fare at a rigorous boarding school? Especially one that champions “Freedom with responsibility.”? I ask this frankly, not facetiously.

A final question that I have for you and other students who have asked about submitting apps after the deadline…have you asked your parents what they think?

Note that I am not asking you to answer these questions on the forum…your answers may provide too much information about your identity.
