I am going to tell you secret about me – I love movie theater popcorn. It is my kryptonite. If I go to the movies, I need to have a large bucket of popcorn with the butter layered throughout. For me, half of the enjoyment of going to a movie is the popcorn. But, like with anything else, too much of a good thing can make for a bad night. I have had more than a few post-popcorn times where my stomach hated my lack of popcorn control.

The college search and application process is more confusing and overwhelming than in years past. It’s not realistic to expect your high schooler to handle things entirely on their own, but there is also a fine line between helping and taking over. If you’re the parent/guardian of a high school junior approaching the uphill portion of the college planning process, addressing the question of ownership early on can help ensure less stress for you and your student.

Perhaps a better question is, “How can we use AI (generative models, predictive models, conversational systems, etc.) to help solve our challenges better?
