<p>Re: Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>I am surprised to hear that HM’s freshman year might be a repeat of your son’s junior year in high school. HM is supposed to be notoriously rigorous. Really smart kids are accepted. And a lot of those really smart kids struggle. Maybe it just looks like a repeat year on paper, but in reality it’s more rigorous?</p>

<p>I’ve never had a kid attend, but we’ve read a lot about that school – and the valedictorian from my kids’ school (a large, rigorous public) goes there. It really is supposed to be challenging, in a good way.</p>
