I’m in the same position – Son doesn’t even want to discuss 3/10.

In all fairness, we did start the BS process. We were not sure we could afford his current private day school and wanted him to have options. For us, we are in a win-win because the process led to a “special” financial aid offer at current school we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

Husband & I think BS would be MUCH better for our very smart, albeit very unmotivated, son. He rises to the bar set & would do well with higher standards. But that is exactly the part that scares him – that his life would become all academics.

I’m just trying (unsuccessfully) to put it out of my mind until 3/10 decisions & revisits.

Also, my son is very young. He was 12 when he interviewed - he is now 13. Maybe he is just too young. Crazy thing is he loves the idea of Harkness and really liked all the campuses we visited.
