Thanks for all the replies…I definitely appreciate the info!

Harriet: I LOVE the “high dry-cleaner recognition” line - or should I say lack thereof!! I actually think that’s a good thing in a college. If I can figure out how, I’ll definitely PM you. I’m sure you could give me lots of great insight.

Momrath: It’s funny, because Kenyon is also in the running for my son. He actually liked it very much, but it’s a little further than he wanted to travel.

dchow: No, he hasn’t gotten in yet. However, at Swarthmore the coach has told him that admissions has said he’s “an outstanding applicant”, his test scores are right at the 50% mark for their students, the coach will put “100% of his weight” behind his application/admission, and he’d like my son to apply ED II. Now I realize nothing is ever set in stone until you get the acceptance letter, but it sounds like he has a pretty good shot. Don’t you think it’s a good idea to ask these questions early in the process so you can make an informed decision? Your comment about being “too busy making their final decisions…when they haven’t gotten in yet” does not make sense to me.

Anyway, once again thanks to all!
