<p>We'll put this under the heading "Blind hog finds acorn." Check this site out. It seems to be very comprehensive with nicely done links to articles. I don't know how updated it is , but it looks current. Someone in addition to me might find it useful. So far, I think it is great. Hope you find it interesting.

<p>Cur </p>
<p>Thanks so much since the process is beginning anew with DD. We just returned from a visit to Auburn, UGA, Clemson, Furman and South Carolina. After I have a day or two to unwind and catch up I plan to post my impressions and highlights of the trip.</p>
<p>great stuff, mudge.</p>
<p>Another thank you to you curmudgeon :D!</p>
<p>P.S. Right now I am reading Tommy Thomas' article called "The Gentle Art of Separation" which I think is very well written and even timely for those of us with "rising" juniors.

"How can I prepare my youngster to make the transition from dependence to a healthy independence and self-sufficiency? is another useful question. Interaction with our children that encourages real independence and self-confidence is a huge gift, but one that is painful to give. It means trusting our children to make mistakes, or even fail, in the short term, letting us and others down in the process. In the college process this might mean letting our children meet their application deadlines (or not) on their own, or get the essays done on time (or not) on their own. Real independence and personal self-confidence come from earned successes and from recovering from failure. If we preclude failure in our childrens lives by smoothing the path before them, we enfeeble them, we show them no respect, and we deprive them of the opportunity to grow.

Again, many thanks!</p>
<p>The blind hog says "you're welcome". Gosh, now I have to read the stuff or what will I have to talk about at brunch?</p>
<p>Thanks, Curmudgeon! I bookmarked the site in case the above link "disappears" before I can go back and get a good look at it. But you're right, it appears to be a gold mine of good information.</p>
<p>Thanks from us too! I'll get my rising junior reading - as soon as he starts and finishes his summer homework! Hope the patient is still recovering quickly.</p>
<p>eadad, looking forward to your report on your roadtrip. Our S is interested in many of the same schools.</p>
