Lots of good advice. I'm reminded of my naivety when I was interviewing. In one interview when I was asked what my first choice school was, I replied, "well it's either College A, College B or College C. It never would have occurred to me to maybe stretch the truth a bit and just tell the man that the college I was currently interviewing was definitely my first choice! Great post Susan.

It was quite a process, and the high school offered special workshops to help students -- and parents -- get through it all. Amazingly, when I applied to college, it was SO much easier and I am not sure why. I don't think my parents did anything but give me stamps and checks for the application fees! Back then, we (students) just applied to our schools of choice, paid the application fees, and then got accepted ... or not. I like your suggestions in the last half of this post. The first one -- "RELAX" is the absolute best. It all works out...
