Agreed. Last summer we flew in to BWI to pick up DS from Summer stem and we just took UBER to Annapolis. I just checked, it was 6:47 pm and cost $49.96. We stayed at the Historic Inn's of Annapolis Maryland Inn. We just walked everywhere from there or you could UBER. No parking fees, no...

Also, remember that at 17 years of age it is likely that the ego thinks that whatever ones dream is must be the best dream for others. Growing up and life helps reshape that sentiment. Having kids reshapes it even further. Yours is a much more deep version of "Wait, you haven't seen ____...

As a parent I am very focused on helping my DS achieve his goal of attending the Academy. I'll admit that helping him has now made this a team goal and we have invested a lot of time and energy thus far and he is only a sophomore in HS. With that said, the reason we are putting so much energy...

Thank you

Thanks, I am sure I have read that a few times. Couldn't remember where Id seen that. Thanks again.

To start off I did a pretty extensive search of the forum and there is quite a bit of info but it is all over the board. Where we live we don't have class ranks. This is common, maybe it's just our area but it may be the state as a whole at least for public. I know because I work in senior...

Just wanted to say thank you for all the advice. We had his visit to address all of this yesterday and his doctor shared that the new provider shares the same system basically and can access everything. Also, she went through his history and checked everything. She checked vaccinations...

Ive been on this forum for about a year I think. In that time, my DS and my perspective has definitely changed. He has attended Summer Stem and researched a ton about all of this, as have I. Some of the mystery of all of this has been removed while some has been revealed as even more obscure...

especially when there is a financial cost to AP exams, add in SAT, ACT etc. Very difficult for lower middle class students to afford many of these things when they don't qualify for waivers on the fees. Fortunately where I work we take care of this for the kids and let them test during the day...

I second this. We put a pull up bar by the bathroom door. My son was pretty diligent about using it and worked his way up to 13 real legit pull ups in about 6 weeks. Goal is now 20. Who knows after that. We have the bar that hooks on the top of the interior frame, not the one that goes...

My DS attended Summer Stem as a rising sophomore last year and did not have any SAT or PSAT scores.

Had a similar situation to you last summer. Tons of great recommendations on here and everyone has their favorites. When it all came down to it though we just went for it. It's hard to plan for how you might feel or what you may be in the mood for before or after a big travel day. We enjoyed...

Besides checking the website or calling the office, I noticed our Rep's insta/book accts posted that they were conducting panels. Im not sure if they were exact to the date or maybe a few days later but it seems to be within the same timeframe each year. The posts thanked the members of the...

Thanks
