[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it's a great school, in a great location - yes.  But it is not QUITE the amazing educational experience that their demanding standards would seem to indicate.
Mine would have loved to apply.  But between the restrictive application policy (which is truly awful given the very difficult cycles these kids are facing) and their demands for all test scores - my kids have had it.  Both have what it takes to succeed there.  But my first and now my second are not willing to ruin what was left of HS to get there.   Straight As in AP courses not enough for you?  Opting for mental health over College Board nonsense by skipping a few AP exams?  Please.   My next one feels the same way.  These two are great students - never had anything less than an A or A-, fantastic ECs that reflect their commitment to serving others for years, stellar LORs, tons of the R word - RIGOR.  Not pointy for Ivies.  But they are out - of the G-town rat race.  And no - that's not a Georgetown troll talking - it's an honest frustration for their policies.  [/quote]
