thanks, we’ll take a look at all the schools mentioned in this thread. We had our eye on eckard, good to hear about your son’s experience.

I’ve asked my son repeatedly about his passion and the answer is he has no idea. His interest in business seems superficial, He saw me start a business that did very well so he’s interested. But he admits he has no idea what studying business would be like so we’re setting up some talks with people that studied business. He’s a good writer with a great sense of voice and humor. We’ve repeatedly mentioned writing programs including the one at emerson, he says he doesn’t want to study writing.

As for the gap btw gpa and sat, he suffers from insomnia which results in lack of focus, especially in classes that don’t interest him. He’s a completely different student when he gets sleep. We’ve had him to many doctors, an overnight sleep clinic, etc to no avail. Each year of high school it’s gotten a little better, along with his grades It’s heartbreaking to see your bright kid come down in the morning bleary-eyed and announce he didn’t sleep a minute during the night.
