Anyone have experience with this? Mainly wondering about the application process- the information sent to DS suggests it takes about 16 hours to fill out the application, and I am wondering if it is worth the effort.

DS was notified that he’s a candidate and invited to apply. I assume it’s based on his standardized test scores. At this point he has major application fatigue and is still quite busy with school and extracurricular stuff- adding an involved application might be a tough sell, especially one with such high selectivity and low chances of being selected. If it’s possible to generally recycle essays and other information from his completed apps, and otherwise not a lot of extra work, it might try and get him to fill it out. Any experience with this? Thanks in advance.
