We’re a few weeks into summer and S23 is enjoying every lazy minute of it. He had a good semester and is well-positioned for all of the colleges on his list. He has a 4.0uw/4.8w with a 740/770 and even earned one of those “top, prestigious awards.” He was also named team captain of his main extracurricular and is over the moon about that—I’m equally thrilled for him as he’s poured his heart and soul into that team over the years.
His spring semester was crazy busy so we still have a lot of college visits to do this summer. He has a top choice on paper, and will start drafting that essay, but needs to visit other colleges for a full comparison. He got a really good start on his CommonApp essays during the last weeks of LA and will finish those up this summer too.
He has his first date ever (!!) this week and his summer job starts in about three weeks.
