You clearly don't know what you're talking about. It sad that so many people on this forum want to nitpick spelling and grammar and label people as trolls. This forum provides useful information and posts like yours and the previous nitpicking ones are just clutter. I've been labeled a troll a lot. A lot of posters think if they don't know something, or in this case a misspell something, it must be a troll. Go find something else to do. You're not adding anything. I was.

Yes, I do think that if you claim to have graduated from a particular school yet can’t even spell that school, odds are you are a troll.

I graduated from IU's Kelly school as well as several of my siblings. Currently, several of my nieces and nephews attend IU, so I'm familiar with the current culture. If your DD wants to enroll in Kelly, I strongly suggest she join a sorority. It's just the culture of the business school. If she does it will serve her well and if not, she will be an outliner. So, hopefully DD is interested in sororities. Too, IU sororities are very hard to get into. I think it's that there is more demand than supply. Two of my five nieces were totally shut out even from the two sororities their grandmother and mother's were in. These girls have it all going for them, so I don't know why. I'm not trying to put down Kelly, just trying to give you more information.

Why would someone who went to the school keep making the same typo over and over?

Kelley.

It’s called a Troll.

Yes, it says that I can spell my alma mater which clearly escaped you.

I'm not a troll you twits. I just forgot how to spell it. Too bad you two only provide negative information and not helpful information.

You forgot how to spell your alma mater!?!? Wow... speaks volumes.

Your comment speaks volumes about you.

But it's worth it. My kid chose a top SLAC over instate UVA and it's the best thing she ever did.

Congrats. Less debt too.

Still deciding between Michigan, Virginia, Colby, UCSD. And some waitlists hanging out as well - though those might be an issue after May 1.

Amherst is only a backup if you can't go to Ivy.

Nice choices. Well done!

I'm afraid to say, because although I am mostly happy with my kid's choice, but don't want to hear criticism of him or the school.

I feel this way, too. The school is a great fit for my child, but not well-known in this area.

Aw don't sweat it. My alma mater gets trashed on this forum constantly - but it was the right school for me, got me into the #1 grad school in my field, and I am quite successful. It is also where I met my husband and best friend. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing!

Be proud of your child. They are going to college!

Well then, congratulations from me!!!!

I'm actually a bit disappointed. My son made a good choice for valid reasons, but not the choice I would have made in his shoes and he gave up some things I value. But, like I said, a good choice, valid academically-based reasons, and a good fit. So I'm happy.
