<p>My younger son spent his high school sophomore year in France, in a French public high school in Provence.</p>
<p>He had amazing results, especially considering that junior year grades weren’t at the standard of freshman year grades (and sophomore year grades were from France and not factored in). His poor junior performance was due to a serious concussion in August, after returning from France and before starting junior year. His grades did start to come back up at the end of junior year (he said he didn’t feel normal until April–) and his first semester senior year was outstanding.</p>
<p>Stats – around 2000 SAT, 3.7-8 in a demanding private school, graduated with 3-4 AP courses.</p>
<p>He is currently at Cornell. He was also accepted at Connecticut, Wheaton, BU, Lafayette, American, and a few more that escape me.</p>
