<p>On my Colorado suggestion, we hadn’t gotten to the point of researching score submission, so that is interesting info. My thought was that block plan might be an environment in which the student could flourish by not managing 4 midterms and finals in the same week, semester after semester. </p>
<p>As the parent of a bright, curious, intellectual student who didn’t have the shiniest app but would succeed in any number of small, quirky LACs, we found the admissions process unforgiving. It used to be that Oberlin, Kenyon, Middlebury were places for smart kids but you didn’t have to have the perfect app. Nowawdays, those kids are more likely to find Kalamazoo, Beloit, Lawrence, Earlham a match.</p>
