When it got down to the crunch, dd decided not to finish applications where there were extra essays she had to pull together.

But her common app essay was really excellent and she had done a good job in picking the schools and otherwise being organized. I was not going to push her to do more applications at that point. In my view, she was old enough to make such choices.

In the end she got into 6/7 schools and went to a LAC that she loves and where she gets excellent FA.
