Yale Letter

We have been getting lots of mail and emails from colleges around the country since last June when Eric took the ACT for the first time.  He did great, but he just retook it and bumped his score 2 more points.  Now we are getting letters from even more competitive colleges.

Wow! I can't believe my son's name is actually on Yale letterhead. I didn't even know that Yale recruits. But we (I say "we" because whenever Eric does well in school, I take partial credit and say "We did really well on that math test" etc, it drives him crazy so it encourages me to do it more) got this letter from them today. I can't even imagine getting accepted to Yale and I know it takes a lot more than good test scores (and a lot of money) to get in. Mario and I would choose BYU if given the choice for him anyway. From what I've been told, BYU is highly selective as well but a whole lot cheaper.  

I've hired a private tutor to help Eric achieve his goal score on the ACT.  We'll see if she is able to help. So far he's been happy with her and thinks that he will be better prepared for the next one in April.  I'm crossing my fingers.
