Your honest opinion of college app resources?

<p>Hello parents,</p>

<p>For the past six months, I've been spending a significant part of my off-time developing a free website to help seniors prepare their college applications. Student reception has been great. The thing is - I'd like to start making the material more accessible to parents (and families as a whole). I'm in the process of adding more content, and would be interested in knowing what kind of things parents look for. Specifically,</p>

<p>1) How much time you do spend on college planning compared to your son/daughter? Are you happy with this ratio?</p>

<p>2) What kind of information do you spend most of your time looking for?</p>

<p>3) Are you satisfied with the kind of resources currently available to you? Is the use of private college counselors mainstream in your area?</p>

<p>4) What would you consider to be the greatest challenges as far as college applications are concerned? </p>

<p>5) Where/who do you usually turn to for college admissions advice (besides CC.com)?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
