[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is there - 2nd year.  Ignore the people who hate on the school because of marketing and stupid stuff like that.

Kid is a science major and it is hard.  Lots of work.  The quarter system moves fast. Can be enormously overwhelming.  So your concerns are not misplaced.  It’s is also a place where she is making great friends, participates in intellectual conversations, learning unexpected new things and really challenging herself.  Depends on whether this is what your kid wants for himself.  Only he can make that call.  For my kid it is absolutely the right choice.  For another equally talented kid, it would very much be not ok.  [/quote]

I am this poster.  Oh and I agree with the previous poster.  Apply ED only if your kid is sure.  Mine got in RD. [/quote]

OP. My kid seems sure, but I worry he isn't being realistic about the amount of work/stress. Ugh. I guess having gone this far, we have to leave it to fate. Obviously odds are against him (anyone) getting in.[/quote]
