Thanks @MWolf and all. Thanks @Thorsmom66. In some ways I would love to stop nudging (and then I log on to CC). Two different scenarios with each kid.

Each have a list. One really has their heart set on two schools (Tulane, U Miami) and after that it is a big question mark from their perspective (per GC charleston, Miami in Ohio, OSU, smu, IU, Boulder, u of Arizona, u Alabama). His GC recommended starting common app and essay over summer. He isn’t interested in college visits or doing anything further until school starts but cares a lot about whether he will get into those two schools, both of which are reaches. He is focused this summer in his job as a lifeguard.

Daughter has a list that includes NE schools (Colgate, Hamilton, BC, Tufts, Swarthmore) but almost any discussion about college is a non-starter. I am not sure she cares that much where she goes.

My rising junior seems interested.
