[quote=Anonymous]DS applied early priority (prior to Sept 15), so should find out within next two weeks if accepted. We went out there on a tour and also found a local FCPS student who goes there to have a meal with while there to get the lowdown. 
I have read all the stuff on Reddit about the academic grind, but I am wondering how true that really is for a moderately high achiever from FCPS. Maybe it is more difficult for those from other types of communities, not sure. The student we had a meal with is taking a 5th year, true, but we didn't really get into that too much. I think he was an OK student in high school and engineering classes were a challenge there. Lovely town and campus, enjoyed the tour. I did notice the lack of female representation on campus though both the tour guy and the other guy said they didn't think it was an issue. Lots of fun traditions there like hiking up the mountain with a rock from your hometown, cardboard boat races down the creek, etc. We could hear the football game broadcast from our hotel, amplified over the whole town of Golden. The first year is pretty structured, everyone takes Calc 1-3 and Physics, so you don't even pick classes the first semester (my kid is not such a fan of that). [/quote]
