<p>Hello, Tahoepines, Alumother and PtonAlumnus–
Thank you so much for this thread–S is having a similar reaction to that of Tahoepine’s son;and with just a few days left to decide, he is looking for clarity. Princeton Preview impressed him sincerely and the students were very gracious, but he did notice a level of seriousness and intensity above that of other schools he is considering. Also, perhaps, a private school flavor that we are not used to. We are public school, middle class, western. S also is intense and passionate about his studies but is looking for fun and warmth in college, too. Gentle pranks are part of his metier. So, your insights welcomed and received gratefully as we are down to the wire . . . .</p>
