Thank you. In all honesty, I’ve never thought of my son in any exceptional way. Academically, he did okay. He graduated 6th in his IB class from an average public high school with 2 B’s, so that’s good but certainly not exceptional. His test scores were pretty good but not exceptional, either. Once he was past what I considered the “safe” score, i.e. those scores that the adcoms at top schools feel that an applicant can handle the academic rigor, that is, past 1500 in SATI and 700’s in SATII, I said stop. I think what got him into multiple admissions was his achievements in violin, having served as concertmaster in local, state and national youth orchestras and having won numerous concerto competitions. Even though he’s at Princeton, I worry whether he can handle the academic rigor when his peers are far more accomplished in that regard. Although he had no problem auditioning his way into Princeton University Orchestra and Princeton’s top chamber ensemble, so what, he still has to handle the academic rigor that Princeton is well known for with its past history of grade deflation but the practice that still lingers from what I’ve heard.
