The essential role of parents role in the college admissions process

Embarking on this journey is a significant chapter in a studentโ€™s life, a parent's involvement is crucial. How can parents effectively and positively contribute to their childโ€™s college admissions process? Here are some suggestions:

As a parent, your role in the college admissions process is to be a guide, a supporter and an encourager. Itโ€™s about helping your child navigate this journey with confidence, providing support when needed and allowing them the space to grow and make decisions independently. This experience is not just about gaining admission to college; itโ€™s about preparing your child for future success and independence. (From acceptu.com)
