<p>Congrats to your son for making it to the finalist stage. </p>
<p>I see from the article that there was stiff competition indeed! Thanks for sharing.</p>
<p>asaunmom… that young man is incredible…graduated bard at 15 and yale law school at 19-20… but he wasnt competition for alabama kids…rhodes goes by district (either your home district or the college district). I wondered how he could compete because he finished law school in 2009… turns out the upper limit for applying is age 24.</p>
