[quote=Anonymous]That's amazing!! My deepest congratulations to your son for getting into AOS!  He will most certainly build very strong friendships with his peers and really be engaged with the academic environment.  Though I am now a rising junior at AOS, I hope I can see him thrive with his research project when he is an upperclassman!

Also, I agree with the idea on prep-school.  I personally went to prep-school, because my mother heard from a coworker that "most kids that get into magnet schools come from prep schools", and she enrolled me (I was willing to do it).  Though, mostly because I did not look Eastern (though I am), I felt a little 'put-down' compared to my Eastern-looking peers, and the environment was a little tiresome.  And interestingly, two kids that appeared to be the brightest and best at my prep-school got into [I]neither AOS nor TJ[/I].

The good side of prep-school is that it really (at least for me) worked up my competitiveness as I realized I wasn't as smart as I thought it was.  It was quite humbling.

For the previous comment, or anyone else, if you or your son has any questions about the AOS environment (how to get good grades, good research project, opportunities, teachers) I would be more than happy to help!  [/quote]
