<p>Hi, Skewl - Just wanted to say a couple of things:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>As you’ve now discerned, even though we all want our kids to be as independent as possible, applying to these types of programs is going to be a team effort for you and your daughter. It’s a lot to do, but there are also a lot of excellent bonding possibilities involved.</p></li>
<li><p>You’ve come to the right place! The threads on this board are an amazing source of information on the process, and everyone is so helpful.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>So welcome, and good luck.</p>
