@charlotte02 appreciate your feedback. I put alot of hours over break into the additional essay prompts for PS; hope other alumns express to the admin what a flawed process this is (for the potential student anyway). Left now to compare several offers with about the same $35K net cost after the “everybody gets a discount” scholarships. The red letter admittance envelope was impressive though. Finding the same at most top schools I applied (USC actually rejects a couple thousand applicants a year outright with 4.0s and top 1% test scores). For those of you entering HS those stuco and yearbook roles really matter - outside activities less important no matter the academic record. Do something that stands out and gets attention - that’s what PS and Hunt are designed for.
