Yes, my S22 did have ‘summer start’ selected as an option. He’s taken several computer programming classes in high school. No AP classes but majority of his classes have been honors.

Notes - Did say yes to summer, got UP.
Did not submit the personal statement as the most recent common data set shows it as not considered.

Sorry, meant to say, said yes to summer, got the fall start.
Did your son apply for summer? My son has the same stats and
was just accepted 2+2 but did not select summer start.
My son also accepted 2+2 with similar stats, he did not select summer option.
Was wondering if not selecting summer was a factor or if they would have offered summer before 2 + 2 option.
They would not evaluate at all for summer if summer start option was not selected.

My son did check that he was willing to start in the summer.
If its helpful to you at all, I’ll offer that he has about 6 honors classes and 1 AP.
On his SAT he got 680 on the Math. We submitted it since that puts him at the 75th percentile on that one particular stat.
And, I graduated from there, so he had that to add.
