Hi. Have two rising seniors and one rising junior at competitive high schools. We tried to avoid over emphasizing college. Both seniors are bright but quite different compared to others posting stats. Neither wants to do college visits, or work on essay or common app over the summer. Have done some virtual visits with prompting. I don’t think they know in any detail about levels of ECs. They are sick of me raising the topic of college admission or “demonstrated interest”.

Have we done something wrong (or right)? Do we just leave them to take care of it (with help from their GCs)? In the end, they usually get done what they need to.
