ARE YOU STRESSED OUT AND TESTED OUT? ARE YOU LOOKING TO APPROACH COLLEGE ADMISSIONS IN AN HONEST AND MINDFUL WAY? Discover what over 100,000 engaged r/ApplyingToCollege subscribers are learning as they discuss a fresh approach to college admissions. With Hey AdmissionsMom: Real Talk from Reddit, Carolyn and the community from the subreddit, r/ApplyingToCollege, give you a place to stop trying to figure out what your top schools want in you and instead ask yourself, What do I want out of life when I leave high school? What do I see for myself?

Maybe you're just starting the college admissions journey, and maybe you're overwhelmed by the paperwork, school descriptions, test score requirements, extracurricular activity options, and the daunting task of figuring it all out without losing yourself.

Or, perhaps you want permission not to be a carbon copy of the ideal student and want out-of-the-box ways to be yourself, both in life and in the admissions process - and you're not just managing your expectations, but you're also managing your parents and their expectations.

You might also be a concerned parent or mentor looking for a guide designed specifically not to stress you and your kid out, and one that might even help dealing with admissions anxiety as you learn the ropes of college admissions. For all the times you've worried about how heinous colleges admissions is, shaken your head about how it's all about high-performance, achievement, and crazy amounts of extracurriculars, and you've thought, "There has to be a better way... " You were right. You just found it
