Well - my son’s early decision application is in a Amherst, and we just finished a second school visit over Thanksgiving (my first; he and my wife’s second). What a NICE PLACE.

Hoping for the best for him … he’s worked his rear off since 8th grade.

Any supporting or “face reality” thoughts either way while we wait would be appreciated.

SATs V740, M710, W720; SATIIs Literature 770, Math 1 740

Very active in Drama and music (bassoon), studied abroad in Hiroshima summer 2011, 5 years Japanese language study (since 8th grade), active in School Levy advocacy for the school, and keeping the Japanese language program when for 2 years the school board attempted to fold it.

He’s not a legacy – we’re midwesterners. We’re also not Japanese ;-)

Figure he as as good a chance as any … though this school is really his first choice.
