This generation of high school seniors is up against more competition for college admission than generations before them. Going over applications with students is interesting. Sometimes, they misinterpret the intent of a question. The length of The Common Application and some of the lengthier college applications often causes them to become impatient. Many teens are scheduled so tightly with activities, even over the summer, that they find it difficult to set aside time to deal with college application tasks. Parents and other relatives can help by offering to read essays and proof reading applications for accuracy and completeness.
