<p>He looks like a good candidate. Math a little low, but he's not pursuing the sciences. The main thing now is for him so show interest in the school. Visit, email a professor...showing real interest for the school is key.</p>

<p>Thanks, Mizo. I appreciate your candor. My son has visited, has emailed several people at Kenyon, and will be doing an alumni interview soon. We're contemplating attending an informal get-together for prospective students, but it's at least two hours by car, in New England, in January. I'm hoping that he can get a lead on something closer to home if he inquires. </p>
