I have no access to the common app or any portal for any schools to which either D19 or D21 applied. I did ask them to print out their common app so i could double check for spelling, etc. before they hit ‘send’. D19 is super organized; D21 does not have same level of exec functioning skills. I did have each of them share a google sheet with me I created that listed all the schools to which they applied with key dates/info (i.e. app due, LOR sent, transcripts sent, etc.) where I could look to see the status of each app at any time. I am sure they would not have minded giving me access to their emails but I never asked. That said, I’m already thinking I won’t trust my son to do it alone when he applies to college in 4 years:). My D21 said that being in charge of the process was good for her and helped her ‘grow up’.
