Well, aren’t you a ray of sunshine? Willing to bet the Wesleyan grad is a lot happier with life than you are.

Yale/ Harvard. This was back in the medieval era. Plane flights and long distance phone calls had just been deregulated, so people were just starting to venture more than a few hundred miles from home. If you were a bit adventurous, you really reaped admissions benefits. Most universities didn't have truly national applicant pools yet, so the odds of admission were much better .

Wanted to go to UCBerkeley, ended up applying early in-state to UVA and getting in. I felt bad making my parents pay for an out of state school. Funny how neither of my brothers worried about that.

Wanted Georgetown. Accepted but took a full merit scholarship to a state school instead.

Ended up at Georgetown a few years later for my MSFS.

Wanted Carleton, got in but struggled academically (loved the school, though) freshman year and transferred to Michigan State.
