You guys are amazing. Thank you. Will tuck into the links you were good enough to dig out and share.
@Charter78, thanks for giving me such a witty and authentic lens into the Peddie culture via the writings of Matt Roach. Really enjoyed them.
@Itsjustschool, @Patronyork, yes, I’d heard that Jon Swift joined the faculty this year. Great to have his astrophysics background, not to mention a superb astronomer for the occasional night at the observatory on campus. @ThacherParent, appreciate learning about Morgan Krey. Truly impressive. Great that Thacher is willing to put up classes for as few as one or two if interest/needs require.
@Twinsmama, if my dim memory recalls, I believe my son during his interview was told that Dr Maurer once worked at NASA. Pretty cool creds indeed.
@Neato every best wish for continued excellent results for your daughter and congrats on those thus far achieved. Can imagine these are nail-biting days, if the cuticle-gnawing M10 for high schoolers offers any preview of coming attractions. Any fevered mobile phone viewing will be taken as only sane and fitting. Know your daughter and classmates are still waiting on college news, but so far your sense is that college AOs recognize the quality/caliber of Mercersburg’s students/curriculum and they don’t have to prove themselves over and above their peers?
There are so many elements that DS loves about each of these three schools. The hard part will be choosing.
