Hi, yes I was not specifically looking for an idea on the artiness of the schools. As you mentioned, I was looking for more general comments. While I will look for other posting as suggested, here’s some info on my son.
He is a junior and maintains about 3.5 GPA (UW) at a competitive boarding school. He took the SAT and his score is about 2100. I don’t really know if he will/should take the test again. He prefers small, close-knit education environment. He does not seem so vocal or active but he is very passionate about what he likes. He will likely become a captain in his school athletic team - not a major sport though - and is expected to become a dorm prefect in senior year. (He was asked by the dorm parent as well as the athletic team coach) He will have spent 4 years in the orchestra as a principal in his section by the time he graduates.
In terms of college major, he is undecided for now. He prefers studying biology in college but also wants more flexibility including psychology & interdisciplinary studies. He is pretty much outdoorsy. They are the reasons why he and I believe a LAC might be a better fit for him. What else… he loves spending time with kids and help out others. Spent appx. 200+ hours teaching English in the local elementary school in the past two summers and he is a student tutor for Chinese. (We are not Chinese heritage though)
Thank you for your advice. Habe a great day!
