GOING THROUGH THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PROCESS IN MY MOMMY HAT

One thing that we always tell our students and their parents is that part of our job is to take the stress out of the parent-child relationship that the college admissions process inherently creates.  We become the noodges, making sure that every single college deadline is honored (and trust us, there are a lot of them).  We press our students to question deeper what they are looking for in a potential college.  We sit with them through each and every application as they repeatedly type in the details of their lives, pointing out a misspelled word or an incorrectly checked box. We remind our students that one-third of admissions officers Google their applicants, begging our students to keep their social media websites clean and appropriate. We strongly encourage them to take that fourth year of their foreign language, challenge themselves with some more Honors or AP classes, study for finals, and retake the ACT once again.  Again and again, parents tell us how grateful they are for our gentle reminders and noodges. It takes the pressure off of the parents, allowing parent and child to enjoy the college admissions process together.
