<p>Also, the reason I came back to this site was to provide information concerning new uppers, since theres a dire lack of info on this mixed group of kids.</p>
<p>The only thing I notice is more internationals kids, kids who have moved around a lot, and/or multicultural kids and TCK’s. …As well as a few particularly interesting life stories/backgrounds, etc. Another quirk… I’ve met an oddly high number of new uppers who practice atypical religions (Baha’i, Vaishnavism, Eastern religions) and whatnot… it’s just a very, very diverse group of kids. When I applied, I was led to believe by people on here that many new uppers were athletic recruits… this just isn’t true… at all… everyone is academic, and some also play a varsity sport… but by no means the majority, or even a quarter (I would guess, I don’t know…)…</p>
