re: LSMSA, thoughts?

My wife and I both graduated from LSMSA. I credit LSMSA for instillig the discipline to study. I skated by with a 4.0 GPA at my old high school. LSMSA taught me that I was NOT as smart as I thought I was. But, the faculty are extremely approachable and helpful. I'm glad I learned this before I made it to college.

I finished my undergrad engineering degree and went on for a Master's. My wife just finished her PhD. We were sort of 'middle-of-the-road' as far as achievement as LSMSA. Both had 30 on ACT and finished LSMSA with around 3.5 GPA.

We also talk about the opportunities that LSMSA provided us. She went to Spain and we both went to England, Ireland and Wales as part of Special Projects week. I participated on the rowing team (which I think is now defunct, unfortunately). My wife rowed and she also swam for the local high school.

Being honest with you, I hated it for the first five or six months of my junior year. But, I wouldn't do it any differently if I had to do it over again.

Just my input. Hope it was helpful.
