OK, the current senior class is receiving acceptances--soon it will be our kids' turn! I have a few questions:
1) I'm not an extreme helicopter parent, but I am interested and involved. Sometimes my kid needs a push, like, "Send that nice admissions counselor at Tulane a note thanking him for his time at the meeting." How involved should I be without being obnoxious?
2) Will some colleges come looking for my kid? She has a high ACT and most probably will be NM semi or finalist. She has gotten some really "nice" letters and other looks like mass mailing. However, our counselor says certain schools ask for kids with "X" ACT score and target them. For instance, she has been inundated with info from NYU and Vandy -- weird. The strange thing is the LAC she really loves (and where she sent her ACT score) has NOT sent a thing!
3) Should she work on applications this summer?
