M D18 already opted out of the bazillion dollar admission racket at Stanford and the Ivy colleges in spite of being ranked 2 in her class. When she got the letter from Harvard that began with ‘Have you considered attending Harvard University?’ she quipped, ‘yes, and I have considered becoming queen of England too. It is going to happen for someone, but the odds are not good.’
We spent her $90 in Stanford money in the bookstore too. Got some cool stuff.
