  2. Tips for Parents During the College Admissions Process College Admissions is stressful process everyone. from teacher, student to parents and counselor. College Admissions is the first time teen taking decision  towards biulding his/her future. Here We are sharing tips for parents that will help in College application process. Don’t Take the Helm There have probably been plenty of times in your teen’s life that you’ve had to step in and solve a problem for them. College admissions is not one of that. If your teen has trouble discussing their  accomplishments or struggles to see them in context, have a conversation about their  strengths and how these accomplishments serve as evidence of them. Make a list together so that your teen will have something to refer to while filling out this section of their  application. Communicate One of the most important ways to support your teen is clear and consistent communication with your child. We recommend establishing a standing check-in time for discussing college applications and college admissions. Choose a day and time that is available each week and commit to checking in with each other during this time once a week.

  3. Don’t Try to Play the System Sometimes, when parents become caught up in the weight of college admissions, they try to think of ways to “play” the system, often so that their child will receive preferential treatment during the college admissions process. More times than not, this tends to backfire. Admissions committees do not appreciate anyone who tries to take advantage of the system, and they also frown upon parents who seem more invested in the college admissions process than their teen applicants.   Instead, redirect your energy into constructive support for your teen. Help them to research colleges extensively, create a well- balanced college list, and present their true self to the best of their  ability. Consider the Help of a Professional College Admissions Counselor One way to support your teen is to enlist the help of someone who has in-depth knowledge of the college application process. Professional college admissions counselors   have vast knowledge of the application process, how admissions committees evaluate candidates, and what your student needs to do when in order to ensure that they are  ready with their best foot forward.
