OP here—our daughters played on different teams of the same huge club from 2023-2025. Both now play for different clubs. We were invited to the inaugural clinic and honestly impressed. All the clinics at St. Andrews are $$ because of the cost to rent the space. Check out Academy and MoCo for price comparisons.

I don’t understand how you can sit through classes and focus on dining and wining while your classmates are already starting companies and raising millions in seed funding.

No one is even pretending it's an enjoyable school anymore. You endure it to get the offers from Sand Hill Road.
I live and work near Stanford and know a lot of parents and students who attend. This is a very accurate take.

Doesn’t sound the same at all. The whole Uchicago bit is that it’s so hard you can’t have fun. Just being bored isn’t where fun goes to die.
