Re: College Admissions - Please Read

Ah Genia,
Big hug headed across cyberspace to you.

I've got one son in college and another in high school. What you all are going through is insane.

Not that I am by any stretch of the imagination, any sort of a role model, but what I was convinced I wanted to do "when I grew up" changed so much from when I first entered college. I transferred 3 times, dropped out to take one of the best jobs I ever had (washing dishes in the White Mts.), and finally got an undergraduate degree after 8 years. I also have earned a graduate degree.

You are going to do fine and be fine at any school you go to. And if you don't like where you end up, transfer! The hurt will fade, you will move on. You are so full of life and spunk; you are going to end up making a difference in the world and I predict in ways you haven't even thought of yet.
