<p>It was the opposite for me.</p>
<p>My parents knew nothing about the college process. I did everything on my own, form signing for SAT and SAT IIs, choosing schools, writing essays, filling out the app, to navigating through financial aid forms. In the end, I ended up teaching them about the process so that they will have a better understanding for when it is time for my sister to start applying.</p>
<p>While I would have liked to receive some pressure from my parents (I think I doubted myself too much, so I didn’t reach high enough), in the end, I think it worked out pretty well.</p>
<p>As a mom, I think you should just push him to be the best that he can be so that he won’t have any regrets.</p>
