[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC will probably ED, though keeps going back/forth with Carlton/Grinnell. 34 ACT and 3.6 GPA (no AP/honors classes @ school) - GPA on upward trajectory after a difficult first semester of HS. Good ECs, full pay. A long shot, but his counselor thinks he has a good shot.

While not interested in CS, does give DC pause. Have tried to explain that would matter if DC wanted to go into that field. DH, who attended a top LAC, perceives Kenyon with better name recognition, says he never heard of Grinnell until last few months. [/quote]

Curious what high school has no honors classes?

Anyway your child seems an excellent candidate if he applies ED and a strong one if RD.  [/quote]

An independent in another metro area. School used to offer AP classes but ended them roughly 15 years ago as admin and faculty decided they could offer rigor without constraints of teaching to a test. Faculty way happier. They do offer intensives in math/science, but DC is enrolled in the level right below them. Supposedly admissions view the jr/sr classes similar to courses offered in college as they are often taught in seminar style.

Fingers crossed for ED. Sounds like RD is getting hard all the way around. TY for your feedback.[/quote]
