DD's friend's older brother graduated from UMass and has a fabulous job he loves in Boston making lots of money and getting great experience. He loved UMass. Congrats to your son.

I have done a significant work with NLP. UMass is highly regarded. Congrats to your son!


Thank you. He’s excited. I dint think he knows a New England winter yet though. That will be a shock.

Northwestern is 12/15. I heard that Duke moved their 12/15 date up to 12/13.

Yes the waiting is torture.

I'd vastly prefer Cornell. The idea of going to some state school where 75% of the kids are from the same state is as unpleasant an idea as I can think of.



It's actually 67%. Don't try the other state schools if you feel this way. They are moving to 80% instate students and 20% OOS in order to protest the residents.

Cornell is the most popular school for TJ kids that is not in VA. Over a third of TJ kids applied to Cornell over the past few years.
Great school, excellent need-based aid.


Cornell is considered the safety Ivy, that's why.

Anxious patient

Almost exactly
Absolutely unsure
Awfully good

Close distance
Deliberate mistake
Devout atheist
Diminishing growth
Exact estimate
Extremely average

Jumbo shrimp
Long shorts
Loud silence
Mandatory volunteering
Minor crisis
Near miss
Open secret
Peace force
Pool table
Random logic
Required donation
Rolling stop
Terribly pleased
Unbelievably real

Young adult


Actually, it's because it is the top-ranked IVY ENGINEERING PROGRAM. That's why.

Because it is better for her major and we can afford it without any problem.


I’m pretty sure that was a joke mocking the DCUM crowd that puts UVA on a pedestal.

Congrats to your daughter- that is awesome!

...and remember some of the New York state degree programs are at Cornell (Ivy or not)... Ag comes to mind.
