I don't know why things ALWAYS devolve on CD from the OP. I'm NOT going negative on Dean Kamen, because I think he believes exactly what was said and an awesome human being with a sincere heart. I'm just pointing out that in my experience (and now others are known to me) it wasn't true to the extent he communicated at the ceremony. Overstated and over-sold, that's all.
I am sorry that Dean's List Finalist ever came into our lives, because it caused a folly of time/effort/interactions/loads-of-$$$ that we wouldn't have expended because our heads were in the right place prior to D/L... it's a "crapshoot".

I am sorry, but did you read my entire post? This is the exact thing I am trying to explain.
And I am sorry, but you repeat that line of wasted time/effort/interactions/loads of $$$ and I think overall you missed the point of the Dean's List award. You especially missed the entire point of the award if you wish your son had never received it.
But, I digress. This is the end of my posting to this thread.
Good luck to your son, he will do great things at whichever school he attends. That is all that counts at the end of the day.
