First of all, best wishes to all senior parents who are waiting on ED news right now. My son is a junior and we’re starting to get serious about pulling a list together. He’s a straight-A student with 1500 PSAT and rigorous schedule at a top public. He’s a champion debater and strong writer who dabbles in some other creative ECs. Open to various school settings but not excited about anything athlete or Greek-dominated, and would prefer to stay in the Northeast-Mid-Atlantic region, although we also have some family in the Midwest and I think he’d consider that, too. We’re full pay if it matters. He’s thinking about a career in law but not dead-set on it.

| Thank you all for these suggestions. We’re in MD and lived in NY until he was 10. So will apply to UMD. |
