@TimeFlies2 Don’t thinking hating it is likely. Probably will get more hooked as they do a nice job with presenting the school. FYI - they are very holistic so you never know. It’s nice they are test optional if that’s a sore spot. Definitely put a premium on writing and thinking, Don’t know your stats but their application is unique. Lots of opportunity for your son to show who he is beyond grades.

More importantly than just getting in, have him evaluate what type of student he is. The work load is serious and a lot of straight A HS kids end up with lots of Bs (and are happy to get them compared to the alternative. Not a pressure cooker like other challenging schools (I think it’s pretty collaborative) but a lot of smart, successful kids doing really cool things. (read one of S’s friend’s blogs today on analyzing the “home field effect” that Colorado players have in baseball due to playing 81 games in thinner air. Pretty startling figures and really well done - kid’s trying to break in to sports analytics and is just doing these projects and marketing himself. That’s a Wake Forest kid.)
