[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for the kind words and advice. We’re definitely looking ahead to other schools and I know that there’s a lot of luck involved. My son is still hoping for Duke but already really likes the options he has so far, and several of the schools with decisions coming up. We will send a letter of continued interest and hope to give some updates.

And for the people who were wondering about the level of commitment for his extracurriculars. Being student body president has not been a huge time commitment from him - he seems to work on that type of stuff when taking a break from other work that involves more mental power for him. Being editor in chief however is a bigger time commitment for him. And yes, his congressional internship and library volunteering are over the summer, while being a nonprofit liaison is during the school year. His sports are two different seasons so the burden isn’t as large as some of you may have thought. He gets an average of 6-7 hours of sleep on weekdays and 7-9 on weekends, which is manageable for him.[/quote]
