Hi. My son is a junior at a public school in Ohio. He is very bright, enriched and AP classes, high GPA, strong but not super SAT (retaking next week). My biggest concern is fitting in. We are a family that strongly believes in being happy, but not in material things. We are of modest means, and I don’t want him to be somewhere where he feels like the “poor” kid. He’s not a North Face kind of guy. Good news is that he does get along really well with many different types of people, but be frank: is it too preppy for a normal kid from Ohio?
