Latin Lottery Results Are Out

My DH went to Cornell, he is not minority, his SAT scores were pretty middle of the pack, but he was a scholarship kid into greenhouses and beekeeping and all that sort of ag thing. He is still the type of person who would do well in a grad program at say UC Davis, Texas A&M, Perdue...he likes natural resources, energy engineering, policy stuff.
My best friend from high school went there as well. She double majored in political science and economics, got a MBA at UCLA, went on to work for a mergers and acq firm and then became a SAHM.
Had another friend who went to Yale for a nursing degree after her BS at Cornell. She's in pediatric AIDS work. Says she would love to see her field disappear but it'll be a long while yet.
Tell your friend to pack his fishing gear (for the lake) and long underwear! Damn it is cold up there.

FYI Cornell has been added to the list.

I see Bowdoin College in Maine is on the list too - another great selective school.

Bowdoin! Those a-holes rejected me (a million yrs ago but still). Ended up going to Yale. So yeah, I'm impressed.
