Ok, MAGA


WTH is wrong with you? Quit calling anyone you disagree with "MAGA." It only makes you look stupid.

Yeah, probably the same poster who keeps calling us MAGA because my kid picked BC over Georgetown.

Williams acceptance off the waitlist yesterday (May 1)! 3.7 GPA (private), 1520 SAT, physics/math major.

(Had already committed elsewhere last week. This waitlist offer gives us only 4 days to decide on this Williams offer.)

Lots of boys are slower to step it up, especially freshman year. Hang in there. He’ll get there!!

The unqualified admits are not in the engineering program. Cal, UCLA, UCD, UCSD etc all have difficult weeder classes in math, chemistry and physics. The remedial students fail and end up in majors far away from STEM.

Cal is excellent for engineering but honestly it’s better for neurodivergent, truly obsessed types, grinders and excellent cheaters. It’s very cut throat, and you have to watch out for sabotage. It can be too stressful and depressing for many kids.


I can't comment on the sabotage, but have heard from a few that a super bright kid who is not a grinder may not want to be @ Cal for engineering.

Lafayette today, Marquis scholarship (indexed to tuition increases). Now a major contender for us.
