I won't be involved with Dean's List again for my team unless they change the "pitch" regarding the _desirability_ of M.I.T. and Yale... that's my prerogative as a 54 year old man whose lived a lot of life.
Accusing me of possibly "pushing" my son is laughable IF you knew my son. The fact is ALL we knew about Dean's List PRIOR to him winning the award was what is in the Game Manual, TIMS, and some entries on CD. We didn't know ANYTHING about colleges desiring D/L until AFTER he won the award.

I still don't understand why that makes any difference whatsoever? Would your son not have applied to MIT or taken the internship or promoted FIRST around San Antonio if he hadn't won the award? If not, why not?
I just don't understand what you're angry about. He was a Dean's List finalist and still didn't get into MIT or Yale. So what? I'm sure he'll be fine wherever he goes.
