Overwhelmed, where to start?

You might also try to schedule a couple of meetings with your children’s high school guidance counselors – with your kids in attendance, so the GC can speak with everyone hearing the same thing. Of course, the meeting with your rising senior will be a little different than the one with your rising junior simply because of the different timelines involved. But you may have to be persistent in getting an appointment with the GCs, who are often overworked (and, during Fall Semester, overwhelmed); it is a case where “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” The GCs should be able, for your rising senior, to provide information on relevant application deadlines for schools that you are looking at, and perhaps give you some suggestions for additional schools to look at; and also provide some information on admittance rates at different colleges for students at your kids’ high school. If the high school has a software program such as Naviance, then the GC might be able to help you with its use.
