LAF, keeping fingers and toes crossed for you, hoping one of those options proves the winner.

And thanks for sharing about your brother, which gives me hope of my own. I honestly think my DS could thrive in university - I just don't know if I can get him through elementary school. Or, in this uber-competitive world in which we live, how we can find a back door into university, recognizing he is highly-unlikely to have a 90-something average at application time in the middle of high school. Sigh. It's good to know there are wonderful places for these kids, if we can only get them there.
