FWIW, and related to the crew posts, my nephew just finished his sophomore year @ Yale and was a first string walk-on freshman year crew. They are pretty competitive, haven't lost a match yet this year. I just talked to my sister today, school is over but he's there for another month for meets.

He was an all-state swimmer and stand-out baseball player at a very competitive HS, (they won the state hockey tourney his senior year and it's Minnesota), , I really thought that he was going to try to play ball at an Ivy school. He was already admitted to college and just decided to try out for crew on a whim and made the team. I doubt they have athletic scholarships but could be wrong. Also FWIW, he's about 6' and maybe 175 lbs. And he's absolutely crushing it academically, so glad I was nice to him as a child.

Your son sounds exceptional as well, (and do the children of others here), this is quite a collection of random car owners.
