<p>blueiguana would indeed be a technical genius if s/he could find that option on my phone. <grin> I just checked Android marketplace, and I have the latest version. The CC software developer said just three days ago that this was not in the current released version.</grin></p>

<p>If you really are curious about HI (bears&dogs and/or others), indeed there is SOME rivalry between Punahou and Iolani, but many students have friends and/or relatives at the rival campus.</p>
<p>As a practical matter, not aware of too many people at Punahou (or Iolani for that matter) who take nearly the # of APs that the OP on the thread you reference mentions; most are happy with maybe a handful, max. I prefer not to waste time/energy on “chance” threads. In any case, I don’t generally post on threads that haven’t been written on for months. </p>
<p>I do know one person who was at Iolani that actually DID take 14 or so APs by May OF SR year, of which at least 2 were self-study (Env & US Gov–he got mostly 5s & two 4s), but that was considered extremely unusual, even at Iolani & had the registrar scrambling to see if she could order the tests to accommodate him. Of course he didn’t get credit for all those exams because the U he ended up attending capped incoming credits @ 60, which they gave him.</p>
<p>Both Iolani and Punahou do a pretty good job of prepping students for colleges & both get most of their students to good/great colleges. In Iolani’s HS graduating class of 2006, about 15% were NMFs and about 15% (not all the same kids) went to USoCal (many with significant merit awards). That year (and all years), they send some to ivies & other similar Us, including an All-American volleyball player to went to Stanford. Many of the families have limited assets–know one kid who was accepted by Penn but chose Boston U over it because of better merit + FAid package offered. The val that year went to in-state flagship U on full-ride plus private scholarships. She’s now in her 1st or 2nd year at Mayo med school in Rochester, MN which was free for her 1st year (but very cold).</p>
<p>Both private schools have GCs that try hard and have good relationships with many Us. Not sure how many parents of those HSs haunt CC. ;)</p>
<p>Thanks HImom
I’ve never been when it was close from where I was
now it’s awful far away and from here I am (East coast) it’s everyone’s dream destination who don’t want bother with passport/visas when you got young kids.
I just dog sat for a friend who was grown up in CA and went for kids’ sake.
Said it was like CA (how?) but kids had grand times.
When I looked at Iolani because the name triggered something in me, just wondered who these kids are, where would they go to college, would they come home if they’d go away?
I knew of an art student chose to go to U HI.
just imagine. talk about inspiration?
well it is now too far and we’d only know tourist digs, and the kid is too old for that sort of thing.</p>
