gotta echo Tim and OSKI. I've written about this before but it bears repeating. #2 son's First choice ED at an extremely competitive admissions didn't materialize. Long story, and not germane. HA Older son asked his coach for help since #2 was also trying to go high academic. That coach had seen #2 at a camp and had also offered #2 an ED spot, which #2 turned down because he didn't want to compete for an OF spot with is older bro. Older son's coach made several calls and against all odds #2 was supported for spots at two other HA schools. Stressful, but it IS a small world and these coaches, if nothing else, seem to trust each other's evaluations.
