I thought I’d circle back with an update (so far!). We have yeses from Macalester, Grinnell, Oberlin, Kenyon, Haverford. Still waiting on Vassar, Brown, Wesleyan and a few others. Haverford has lost its luster after S21 talked to a friend at BMC re the protests last semester. We have some campus visits planned but wow time is getting tight. With the delays in notification dates and May 1 not far away, it’s going to be a race to the finish line. If he gets yeses to some of the NE schools, we will be doing to mad dash there. He has never been to ANY of these schools, nor have we. I so appreciate all the help you folks have provided. I don’t know that we’d have looked at some of these colleges without your input. Of his current admissions, he is very keen about Macalester (the big city helps!) with Oberlin in second place. I suspect only Wes and Brown might trump Mac. But those are pretty long shots for admission. If anyone has an opinion about the yeses so far based on what you’ve read about my kid, I’d love to hear it. Thanks again, everyone!
