<p>I know helping your student complete applications is a pain. However, the more money my D get the less I will have to do later. Have your child write about 4 essays that can be easily reworked to suit most scholarships, then ask them to determine which essay fits best, review and sign the completed application. Parents fill in the mundane stuff and get the common app recommendations and transcript from the school secretary and mail it off. My D has received two scholarships using this method. I have targeted about 8 other scholarships to which she should apply over the next 3 months and the process will be the same. Yes, I am very tired, but I’ll rest in June, and hopefully get a life of my own.<br>
D is working hard on 4 AP classes, she is smart put needs to put in a lot of time to get the grades she want and keeping EC abreast of her activities so I feel she is putting in her share of time, it will not be like this forever just until the end of senior year.</p>
