What Parents of Rising Seniors Must Do This Summer
If your student is heading into senior year, this summer is a critical time. The calendar fills up quickly with essays, deadlines, campus visits, and last-minute decisions. Families who use the summer months wisely set themselves up for far less stress—and often unlock more aid.
At Diversified College Planning, we guide rising senior families through a clear timeline of what to do and when—so nothing is missed, and everything is optimized.
Your Summer To-Do List
Here’s what families should prioritize over the summer:
-
Build and finalize the college list, including a mix of reach, target, and safety schools—with financial fit in mind
-
Complete a rough draft of the personal statement and start on supplemental essays
-
Schedule final campus visits, especially if your student hasn’t visited top-choice schools yet
-
Gather financial documents needed for FAFSA and CSS Profile in the fall
Why Summer Planning Pays Off
Getting ahead in the summer means fewer late nights during fall semester and better application outcomes. It also positions your family to apply early action or early decision if desired—often increasing admission chances and aid opportunities.
Diversified College Planning makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. We also show families how to organize deadlines, prep materials, and submit competitive—and affordable—applications.
