<p>Wow all you parents are great, I wish mine were like that! My parents are freaked out about how competitive this all is so they’ve gone into panic mode and just try not to think about it or bring up the artistic side so that is all on me. </p>
<p>I’ve completely filled out all of my applications myself and they just edited my essays a bit. After I finish the applications my mom gives me the information and I pay the fees and then schedule the auditions. My mom has told me many times now, “just tell me when the auditions are and I’ll be in charge of transportation.” So that’s kind of her only responsibility. </p>
<p>Ironically today she was telling me I need to get on asking my high school to send transcripts to a school with a November 1 deadline, but I already submitted the requests as week and a half ago. She is good though with helping me with my evil GC. I have a new one this year who lost my Algebra 1 finishing exam scores from 8th grade (claiming I never took it in the first place) and said I would have to retake it in January. Luckily my mom knows how to handle problems like that and got it all sorted out for me.</p>
<p>I know most parents on here help their kids with a lot, but I’m sure there are tons of high school readers like me who have clueless parents. It would be great though if all parents helped with stuff like this. Just wanna say don’t worry, it is possible to be a senior and do it all yourself. It’s a little tricky, but definitely doable.</p>
