<p>So, we have all our apps in. Good, right? Bad. Daughter keeps finding schools that others are telling her to check out. We already added two, which may not seem like a problem. But here is our dilema: She has to keep asking the GC for his letter and transcript because he doesn't do them on-line. </p>
<p>Is this typical? I keep sending apologies to GC for adding more schools! At what point do you say THAT"S ALL!!!! and be done with it?</p>
<p>PS She applied to 9 schools</p>
<p>You stop at the point the GC refuses to complete the rec or the $ for app fees dries up :)</p>
<p>I don’t want to speak for the GC, but it is still mid-season. I don’t find it odd that students are finding more choices.</p>
<p>9 is not an outrageous number, especially given she seems very undecided. Many GCs suggest 4 reaches, 4 matches and 4 safeties, or 2 reaches and 6 safeties , some of them financial. What is typical at your school? But you might sit her down and get her to focus on what she wants in a school and what these additions bring to the table. Mor eimportant than the burdening of the GC is whether your daughter has a clear vision of what she seeks and why.
Did she apply to an EA schools where incoming results might clarify things?</p>
<p>Well, if she finds more that she HAS to apply to, then maybe it’s time to whip out a plate of brownies or a bouquet of flowers to go with the next request!</p>
<p>As long as one of the schools already applied to is a safety then Longhaul is right - whenever the GC gives up or the funding for applications.</p>
<p>Maybe ask the GC if she (or the school) has a limit on requests. Then, let your D manage her interests according to the limit. If there’s no limit then you have nothing to worry about.</p>
