Congratulations !!!

Interesting choice for one who was offered admission by Princeton, MIT, CalTech & Stanford. Having difficulty imagining one who would qualify for such STEM superstar universities selecting Harvard. What do I not understand ?

It's going to be a tough four years at Harvard. Even if it doesn't work, Trump will not back down.


Isn’t it fkg ridiculous? My kid is at a different Ivy. I’m in molecular bio myself and seeing him cancel contracts and fk w/ NSF and grants while he has zero idea of the fallout or what he is actually erasing by halting research at these agencies and universities. He’s such a child.

I mean what’s the alternative? Go to a university he loves? High Point? He’s not going to be around forever. He’s not the Terminator and the people that align with him will not be judged kindly once it’s all over.

Rice is completely different. It's a school for nerds.

Should add, got in EA to Chicago. Got the most aid so it was an easy choice. Didn't get into Yale.

Looks like the Bucknell booster is back...


You mean loser? Bucknell is a very good school but it is kind of sad what a joke it has become around here because of the actions of one or a few people.

OMG, no! Never.


OMG, yes. Rice is one of the best feeders to medical school there is. And if they were offering significant aid over Stanford would take it in a heartbeat before dealing with the costs of medical school.
