Very, very true.

He probobly won't get into University of Florida with those stats.  I have a child at UF.  She graduated with a 4.45 and is a National Merit Scholar.  We moved to Florida her junior year of high school, so we also had the benefit of being in-state.  We were told by numerous counselors to have a back up school despite her stats.  Our neighbor's son graduated with a 4.0 and a ACT score of 30.  And he was senior class president.  He did not get it.  Floria has gotten crazy competitive in the last few years.  I've been told they weigh the essay very heavily, but I have no idea how true that is.

I am also an SEC grad (HOTTY TODDY).  If anything, it's opened doors for me all over the country, but especially in the D.C. area.  I have no explanation for it except that maybe interviewers are looking for something a little different than what they see every day.  Also, if I'm being interviewed by another SEC grad, I have an instant connection no matter where they went to school.

My husband graduated from UGA and has been very successful both in the private sector and now with the federal government.  Those jobs that are so hard to get?  He got one with no trouble.  He's not a veteran.  And he's a white male.  He is a GS16.

My mother told me if I couldn't say anything nice, not to say anything at all, so I'll just leave LSU alone.  :twisted: [/quote]
