I’ll be following along here! Sorry to hijack! York sounds interesting I will be looking into it.
Our son who’s a junior has a strong GPA around the 94/95% mark but his SAT and ACT scores not so great he’s getting around a 1200 on the SAT 24 ACT he’ll take it a few more times but standardize tests are just not his strong suit And not overly outgoing and lacking in ECs he is a fantastic jazz piano player and has been studying jazz piano under a college professor here for a few years and studied Piano in general since he’s been very young. we will have that supplement for his application but he’s not planning on studying music. He is in project lead the way here in NY
AP physics, pre-calculus and doing very well in those classes and enjoys math and science.
we’re trying to find a school for him that isn’t going to break the bank that my husband and I can afford to send him to and if he does decide on studying engineering ( civil /environmental) a good option be there for him. Toying with a trip up to the University of Maine it’s about seven hours from my house a little further than we’d like…I’d like to add another school on to that trip as well.
