Varska, thanks for the insight! Yes the scholarship thing (ahem… money thing) has been well pronounced between him and our parents. He has expressed a strong interest in Harvard. I think the social network had a big influence on that, for better or for worse. Maybe it’s because of me - I convinced him to travel to campus with me so he knows what he’s in for. He’s had his sights set on three (frankly any) B10 since the beginning of high school, so I hope he decides what he truly wants, and also doesn’t sacrifice some poor student who could of had his seat at Harvard if he didn’t nonchalantly go there, only to transfer out.

He’s a kicker, so hopefully his coach (good relationship between the two) can write at least a somewhat unique rec/email (don’t know what they call it for recruiting). On the other hand, Harvard may already have a kicker lined up. He had his app in the first week (thanks to me), but the whole recruiting process I’m unfamiliar with occurs even earlier apparently.
