<p>Really? Well, that was embarrassing…thanks for clearing it up.</p>
<p>Haha dentmon4, the inexactness of our language has great potential for misinterpretation, doesn’t it? :P</p>
<p>what does STEM mean?</p>
<p>STEM: science, technology, engineering and mathematics.</p>
<p>OOOH thank you! lol</p>
<p>Let’s add DE for dual enrollment</p>
<p>I just found this thread and hope to give you all a chuckle. A post card arrived in the summer for one of those multi-college admissions nights. It had in large letters: BROWNMITYALE My husband (should I say DH) thought it was odd that D received a post card ad for a beer called “Brown Mity Ale”.</p>
<p>That may have been after he’d had a beer or two LOL.</p>
<p>Love the screenname OhmyDD95 :)</p>
<p>Of course my eye immediately parsed those seemingly meaningless letters into what htey are, because I live on CC :D</p>
<p>Very funny, OHmy. Would someone tell me what HMFR stands for? I searched this thread for it with no luck. The Parents of 2017 seem very concerned with HMFR schools – to me, it looks like an abbreviation for something folks from my alma mater might shout at a Harvard football game.</p>
<p>HMFR came from the 3.0-3.3 parent thread. Huge Mother F#*!&ing Reach</p>
<p>Thanks. My guess was much closer than I thought. Much appreciated. :)</p>
<p>Actually, Waker coined the HMFR on the 2013/2017 thread :D.</p>
<p>CBB = Colby, Bates, Bowdoin.</p>
<p>HLOS ( Husband looking over shoulder ) In my case with all these abbreviations he has no used what we are talking about!!! :D</p>
<p>What do DD and DS mean? I know what D, S, DX, SX (where X is the birth order) mean in the context of family trees, though.</p>
<p>Dear or darling daughter/son.</p>
<p>Let’s add NHS - National Honor Society</p>
<p>HPME - Honors Program in Medical Education (Northwestern BA/BS - MD program)</p>
<p>OTC - Over the counter</p>
<p>
This thread is for college-related abbreviations. ;)</p>
