[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The quarter system can take some getting used to as well.[/quote]

THIS^^^^^

My kid is at a different school with the quarter system.

The pace is relentless and requires freshmen to hit the ground running.

If the kid is not a complete go getter who is VERY organized,  the transition to the accelerated pace can be very overwhelming.

In addition, class of 2024 (current college freshmen) spent their entire high school experience in covid school lower expectations, where standards were lowered and expectations for As were relaxed significantly.   They did not have the same rigorous expectations from high school as classes who had the bulk of high school before the covid era, which made them less prepared to handle college rigor, especially at a quarter system school like that offered at U of Chicago.[/quote]

Ah no. My kid is 2024. Freshmen year was hybrid. 3 days in, 2 days home.  Sophomore- Senior year were normal. Catholic HS with rigor. Prepared well for rigor of an Ivy, [/quote]
