| Let's Go 'pards!
Scrowman,
I actually had a feeling while writing my post that you were asking about legacies because it pertained to you specifically...it turns out I was correct!
I hope you did not take offense to my post, as I let my disgust for legacy admittance get the best of me. I did not intend to insinuate, in any way, that all (or even some) legacy applicants are "stealing" spots away from more qualified applicants. There are many legacies, such as your son, who really do not need that "extra push" to get in. He would have had a great chance of admission based on his own merits, for sure.
It sounds as if your son is beginning to lean toward Lafayette for his undergraduate education. Good for him! I really respect you for not pressuring him into attending Lafayette...you are doing the right thing by letting him "feel it out" for himself.
Vanderbilt is a great school as well...what is your son thinking of majoring in? If he is undecided, what are his interests?
If you do not mind me asking, what exactly "disgusted" you about the interview process? I was thinking of becoming an alumni interviewer after graduating from Lafayette, so I am eager to hear about your experience.
Thanks!
J
