My son is flying back from a campus visit there tonight. He LOVED it - even with a 36 hour lay over in Philly b/c of snow! Waiting to hear on the MO side of things and hoping it all works out. Congratulations!

Our HS gives varsity letters for orchestra. My son did not list this as a sport, but did include it the sections for other activities.
