If they have schools they want to apply to, they are ahead of where my now high-achieving son was at this time. Your kids just need a safety they could like and their list is done, it seems.

GC’s all suggest writing essays in the summer but I don’t think it is necessary. Some kids need the deadline, and it is even possible there will be some personal growth in the next few months.

The losses for each age group from COVID are staggering and sad. I felt very affected thinking about how some kids, as @Thorsmom66 said, may feel they have barely had a high school experience. The resistance to change that normally happens must be greatly increased by COVID.
