<p>Too funny! Same here.</p>
<p>" I am fairly certain that our HS knows that kids might want to go to college, but there isn’t a lot of evidence to that effect yet."</p>
<p>LOL, Well, my first reaction to to BHM’s review of the College Essay Organizer is “Well, if BHM is doing it, I’m in!” LOL @BunHeadMom, you always impress me with your ability to be organized, have information at your fingertips…and your ability to make sense of it all!</p>
<p>Over on the Parents of HS class of 2014 forum they are posting a list of Drop off dates (when kids will be dropped off for college). </p>
<p>What would you think of doing a similar list here; maybe just listing what state we are in (or region), If we have an S or a D, and where we are focusing our college search (geographically)…We could just cut and paste the list as it grows, adding our own info…or am I the only one that can’t keep us all straight? ;-)</p>

<p>@twogirls 12 is very manageable considering I know she was looking at a lot of schools-it’s good she has been able to narrow the list!</p>
<p><em>note</em> I also added what educational program/major your child is possibly pursuing. I think that also would be helpful.</p>

<p>Yes Pepper I agree. The list was at 15 but she cut 3 ( UDel, Duke, U of SC) making it a very manageable 12. </p>
<p>Also I need to inform everybody that I have no clue how to copy and paste on my iPad. I am what you would call " technologically challenged." </p>

<p>LOL- With BHG applying to 12 schools, I’ll take all the organizational help I can get that saves me time from having to reinvent the wheel! ;
If I were not so cheap, I would pay someone else to deal with the whole application process, but I keep thinking about how I can fund something else with the saved $$K, and cannot bring myself up to doing it. BunHeadDad says the minute I appear to be losing it, all bets are off & we’re paying someone to take over–well, that is never going to happen. 8-| Also, I like all of the researching, planning, and organizing–keeps my mind off of my real job.</p>

<p>@twogirls, to copy and paste on the ipad, hold your finger on the beginning of whatever text you want to copy (or really anywhere on it), it will highlight and you can drag the corner of the highlighted area to cover the rest of the text you want. The highlighted area should have a little tab above it where you can then choose to copy it. </p>
