<p>What do you think the chances are for peole in the military. I am currently attending the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (West Point prep). I have already applied. I sent my high school transcripts as well as my acceptance letter to west point prep. The chances of getting into this prep school is pretty slim as is. What would my chances be at getting to UR?</p>
<p>"We are inaugurating a new president that day (YEAH!!!) and it is alumni weekend, so there won't be any admission office programming that day."</p>
<p>What happened with Dr. Edward L. Ayers ? Will he no longer be the president ?</p>
<p>Ayers is still the man. Colleges/U's generally have the inaugural ceremony during the first year of one's presidential tenure. Lots of literal pomp and circumstance. One of those traditions that too often lots of cash is spent on and doesn't do "jack" for the institution aside from renew its membership in the fraternity of higher education institutions. Awhile back Pitt's then chancellor, who ended up being rather short term, spent a couple grand on the mortarboard silliness. I'd speculate that UR's will be a colorful, costly, and festive party.</p>
<p>Whoops ... make that " a couple HUNDRED THOUSAND grand..." Was one of the PR precipitators to his brief time in the saddle.</p>
