What would you differently do the second time around?

Going through this experience for the first time with a senior. Boy, have a I learned a lot. Here are my few tips. As a parent stress much less. Have child do college interviews. Visit your State Public school on a beautiful day. Do not let child only apply to highly ranked schools on USNWR. Study for SAT 2 tests. This is a great post.Thanks for sharing everyone.

So many thoughtful and useful responses. In contrast, I’ll add my own thoughts.

For my own college attendance and search, I should have drunk less.

For my DS '14 and DD '17 searches, I should have drunk and should be drinking more.

Words of wisdom, @Dave_N !
