Cantiger - thanks so much for your detailed reply.

Seems like lots of kids have adjusted to the system as it exists. Just wondering if this could be why the app numbers for Pton were down slightly compared to others out there. Kids are so focused on next steps and if everyone at H & Y & S is having a ball and balancing work and grades respectively with activities & E/Cs is Pton willing to continue with its’ reputation for grinds over enthusiasts.

Hope the new president has the vision to break away from some of these so-called “negatives.” Otherwise, love the fact that the focus of the school is the undergrads! Love the cerebral and academic achievement with senior thesis and junior paper work.

Curious if the JP interferes with students wishes to study abroad or seek internships. Seems like everything has to tie into the specific research area and even certificates have to complement the concentration rather than be in some completely separate area of interest.
