I'm about to start the process.  Not looking forward to it.  I'm impressed with how my kids have done in school, and I hope it gets them into a school that will make them happy during their 4 years and beyond.  I've seen how difficult this year is by watching friends and neighbors stress over their  4.0+gpa kids not getting into their choice of schools, and some getting waitlisted by their safety schools.

I was the first in my family to go away to college and my father went to school at night.  They nudged me and my sister to do well and we wound up at schools that made them proud because going away to school wasn't an option for them.

With that being said, I've noticed something about the school conversations on this board. Has college for our kids become another version of "each generation does better than the last?"  UConn gets mentioned as an option and choice for some.  But you rarely see other big State Us mentioned and there are a ton of you who's kids are going (or looking at) more prestigious private universities.  Just thought it was interesting.

Good luck to all of you!  I hope things revert to the mean before we apply in a couple years!  Gotta get my kids into better schools than I went to!
