Parents of the HS Class of 2016 (Part 1)

@RyanG1207 I started paying more attention to my younger son’s portal , and I noticed a 0 on a homework assignment from several weeks prior . He always does his homework , so we went back through his notebook and found his graded paper. I emailed his teacher and his grade went from a C to an A. You might want to double check.

@indsfolax Will your child be taking out any federal loans? If so , you need to submit the FAFSA. I alphabetized my son’s school list on the FAFSA . We only needed to complete CSS for one school. I’m not familiar with California rules for state aid. I’d have to defer to someone else. Maybe @Mysonsdad or @Ballerina016 could weigh in.

Some states might care that state schools are listed first. Other than that I don’t think the order matters.

California wants you to list the in-California schools first - public or private. So we did that, and then put his remaining four on in alphabetical order.

Go tigers!

@carolinamom2boys I’ve come across times when I found that my son completed an assignment, but forgot to hand it in! I’m trying to get him to be more responsible and check the portal himself, but it’s a struggle.

I thought that this year was the year that they changed who would see school order on the FAFSA.

OK, found this on who can see order of college https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/08/14/education-department-will-stop-giving-colleges-information-about-students%E2%80%99-choices

Yeah - I don’t think school order is seen. I just know that S’ counseling department said “list California schools first” - so we did. :\ At this point I’m pretty much reduced to doing as I’m told and not trying to think too much - just too many details. I don’t think any school sees what other schools are there, though.

@texaspg All In!!! Go Tigers!!!

I guess I’ll say Go Tigers! As well since they accepted my cousin.

Yes definitely…GO TIGERS!!!

Boomer! Sooner!.. aw okay… go Tigers! they are both on D16’s list.

Guess we are the lone Alabama supporters on this thread. Roll Tide!

@me29034 'Sokay, we’ll share the cookies anyway. Hope you don’t mind they’re…um…tiger-striped…though.

I saw the announcement for the game on the silent TV at the gym this morning and actually thought of this thread but couldn’t remember whom I’m supposed to cheer for. I support wherever you all have kids applying! :wink:

@me29034 Since D has pretty much decided on U of South Carolina and Clemson is their biggest rival, we
are rooting for Alabama on direct order. Sorry @carolinamom2boys !

@fretfulmother Just yell, “War Eagle!”

:wink:

@ChicagoSportsFn - after over many years of being a sister and an attender of summer camp, I know better than to randomly yell what the cool kid tells me to. :wink:
