<p>Thank you for the replies and sorry if I violated any “cyber etiquette”. We have done our research and we have visited all the schools and yes Wesleyan is a strong contender. Brown , to me, seems like the perfect environment for the passionate and self directed student. I think that even though he ants an open curriculum, a few loose guidelines might open him up to new areas of study. But I would never want to deny him the opportunity to study film…either theoretically, or technically, if that is what he wants to do. </p>
<p>these forums have been a great source of information (and amusement) for me both times aroudn with this procss. SO when I found this old post, I figured WTH. BTW, he is more the “American Eagle” kind of dressing kid (his brother is the Ray Ban wearing guitar player who never wanted to take another math or science class so he is currently at Vassar). But the reality is that while he is a very bright kid, with great test scores, yada, yada, yada, we live in a very competitive are and he has no hooks. so Brown and Dartmouth are real reaches. But if he wants to take a shot at ED, I just wanted to make sure he would be happy with his choice if by some miracle it worked out. Sounds like either way, he will have many resources and opportunities.</p>
<p>Again,thank you</p>
