<p>Luckystar 41: I am not surprised at all at your description of Andi’s son, because I think we all have figured out that both he and his mom deserve our admiration. I’m not sure which posts you perceive as critical…
As for the schools you list as ingnoring everything but academic stats, I know that’s not true, --for example, one student in my son’s class with very good but not top grades who’s an accomplished violist, got into Amherst. And I am curious as to which school you will be attending, since you sound so disparaging of all the ones you mention.</p>
