UChicago

Last weekend, Ethan headed to the University of Chicago for a special week-long summer program in STEM.  He applied to this program several months ago, and was put on the wait list.   He reached out again and was able to get in!   This program is unique in that allows him to apply extra early via a program called ED0.  

We dropped him at the SF airport at 4am on Sunday morning--and he was off.  The program "included" airport pick up at O'hare, and a week in the dorm complete with dorm food and a roommate.   He got along pretty well with his roommate, who was from Exeter Academy in New Hampshire.   We didn't hear too much from him during the week but he came back Friday night super excited about the program and the kids he met there.   He found the New York kids especially interesting--"They were so direct!). And he really enjoyed the types of classes and faculty he met on campus. Anyway, he has decided that he is going to apply ED0, and is excited about the prospect of attending the school.  We will see what happens!
