I didn't take your post as a negative. Appreciate your contributions to the board. Obviously one of the good guys here.

Happy New Year! Go Cowboys!

I hate the fact that I'm rooting for the Cowboys tonight....

Merry Christmas! :)

I wish that was the case, I have 8 in-laws due within the hour.
Merry Christmas........I wish you lived in town, at least I would have someone to talk to. lol

Merry Christmas to you too! And yeah, I'm so busy.... Wait, I'm sitting here playing Call of Duty as I type this.

Merry Christmas! We must be the only ones without lives

Merry Christmas to you, too! :)

You're right, can't believe I missed that. I guess it makes sense, I always got the sense UC was more of a pure Economics school than an applied, Business school.

Despite having the number one rated business school, you can't anything in the way of a business related bachelors degree. I don't know about you, but that seems odd to me. According to this, 23% of W&L grads walk out with business related degrees, not an option at UC.

Despite having a graduate school that would be the perfect landing spot for a ChemE, the have no undergraduate engineering program of any kind at UC. They have a Chemistry Department, but it's really not that highly ranked. Maybe it's just me but it seems, the undergraduate program is more of a liberal arts school rather than a business and research powerhouse.

That's pretty impressive. From a cursory glance, I can't see anything too out of the ordinary besides the biological specializations. Also, surprising they don't have a Chem minor or apparently offer a Biochem major at all. I also see they have a joint Medicine program - I'm guessing that's a recent addition. Enlighten me.

UC is the strangest outfit going. They have a new grad school:

Most of the faculty are PHD Chemical Engineers. UC is involved managing Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. UC's Booth School of Business is ranked #1, ahead of HSB. Below is a link to the programs of study for the undergrads. Tell if you think something is strange?

Indeed. Well, you never know till you try . They use SAT scores to send those letters, so he definitely had a shot

He gets some strange mail, West Point sent him a very high quality 7"x5" post card. The right side of the card was a photo of a cadet's right shoulder, and chest, the name badge on the cadet had our last name on it. The University of Chicago sent him a UC pennant along with a letter inviting him to apply. Yes, I know he has no chance of getting in UC, but it was still cool to get.

Northwestern ED is a real toughie, and honestly a total crapshoot. Nothing to be worried about in the slightest. Congrats on Kent State!

The only saving grace regarding the Doookies is that you can only put 5 on the floor at once.

I still owe you a detailed PM, but early decision Northwestern rejected him as expected, and back up school Kent State accepted him, also expected.

Whatcha doing for Christmas? Having visitors? There will be eight of us here on Saturday... I need a nap first. :p

Hiya!

Appreciate the concern.. but I got very lucky with Sandy.. everyone else around me got their ass beat.. I'm still recovering from Irene.. that one cost me a ton.. probably $30K over and beyond what ins. paid

NJ-Hope everything is still going in the right direction. Buckeye down all Buckeyes down!
