<p>My son has chosen Knox for next year and in his words he "can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!" He just went to the Accepted Students Visit so hence his excitement. We didn't think he was blitzed by a media campaign. (We used to laugh at all the unique mail he received from U of Chicago - something new every week.) In fact, he didn't start talking to Knox until late Sept. We felt that the staff nicely kept us informed of what we had to do and when. </p>
<p>I'm not surprised the number of applications was up. After our October visit, we were all talking up Knox. His friends started looking in to it. There will be at least 4 students from our town's 2 high schools. That has to be a first! </p>
<p>For us, Knox was a great fit for my son's personality and interests but it was also a good fit for his parents' wallet. The other 2 on his list would have cost us $15,000 - $20,000 more per year.</p>
