cpt: I think 69% of the kids who apply ED are accepted ED. That’s 250 out of the whole admit pool of 2,000+. I’m sorry if it appears this is all about Trinity. I originally used it merely as an example. My kid is not at a prep school so I’m not even sure he’d be comfortable among so many prep school kids. I don’t feel I have plenty of time, to be honest. I feel like I have three months. Then he starts a heavy load of four AP’s in the fall. This is his choice. He enjoys challenging himself. Even in the fall I can’t see him spending hours in front of the computer researching colleges since he has ec’s which take his time until 5 pm or later each day. Like many boys (and all of his friends) he is enjoying the moment and not even thinking of colleges. Considering what he’s been through, I feel it’s the least I can do FOR HIM to do the preliminary research. I doubt this is highly unusual, even for parents of kids who don’t have added burdens to deal with.
