I took the lead. I didn’t want any surprises. My son was 17 at time of acceptance.
I wanted to be certain all required items were received and no surprises when he went in for his face to face meeting. Also, initial meeting, I went with him.
My son would not have taken them up on most services, but, at least for first semester, I think we both needed to hear what was available and be certain we had written confirmation they had all items.
Helicopter parent? I didn’t care. Please realize, most schools are filled with student workers.
After confirming in Spring all items were there, we hit campus in August and we were told of all the missing things. I had notes and copies of emails. They had it, but things weren’t input to their new system.
Some things are too important to let an overwhelmed hs senior try to handle alone.
Every semester since the first, he had handled himself.
