[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son (2025) is being recruited by Grinnell. 
I’m concerned that if he gets in, it will be too hard for him. His sport has a long season, he has ADHD and takes a bit longer to get his work done.

Do those familiar with the school think it’s possible for a hard working kid who has a lot of demands from his sport and who isn’t really that into school. He does well and works hard but I can tell it’s all a struggle and he hates it.

Don’t want him to be miserable, fail out or just compare himself to others and think he isn’t good enough. [/quote]

I wouldn't send a kid who isn't really into school to Grinnell.  Grinnell is a challenging school full of kids who love learning.  I have one kid at Grinnell but would never consider a school like that for my other kid.  I don't mean that as a knock against the school or the kid.  There are many different types of colleges and kids.  Nobody is a perfect match for all of them for any number of valid reasons [/quote]

On the other hand, Grinnell has an open curriculum which would allow a kid to move toward his interests and strengths. That can go a long way.
