Tips for Parents of Students Applying to College
Everyone knows that college applications can be a stressful time. Between regular schoolwork, activities, college applications, essays, financial aid, and deadlines, any family will start to feel the strain on both the student and their parents’ dispositions.
To reduce tears over the college application process, how can parents better support their students in this time? Liz Willen has some good tips to share:
1. Do not yell or put down your child about the applications process.
2. Do not focus on just one or two dream colleges.
3. Do not miss important application deadlines! Work with your student to find the best method to keep track of all the deadlines.
