DS can’t believe his luck, having been accepted at both Tufts and Macalester! But now comes the big decision… He does not know what he wants to do in the long term – he loves creative writing, has taken a real interest in his AP Government class lately, is fascinated by all things technological (but hates math), is very entrepreneurial, likes to argue/discuss/debate ideas, and enjoys the company of international students he’s met, as well as other interesting people (preferably with a sense of humor). He is a good student, but prefers a less competitive environment, if possible, where he’ll have a chance to exercise some creativity. Also, he’s excited about being in a city, to partake of all kinds of activities, but especially indy and other music concerts. So the big question is – which school is a better fit for him? We look forward to hearing all opinions, and will cross-post this on the Macalester board. Thanks!
