<p>lol, interesting</p>
<p>your name reminds me of legend of zelda, i guess</p>
<p>don't get me started on the origins of slicmlic</p>
<p>on the first page: "How that must feel to turn down Harvard..."</p>
<p>One of my good friends did, because she thought her the alumni that came to see her after she was accepted was arrogant. He made some comment like, "So, are you excited to be attending Harvard this fall?" after she told him that she hadn't decided where she was going to go (accepted by all Ivies except Columbia). She now goes to Yale....</p>
<p>My this family is growing. The RD's are coming! I heard this great story from a friend: A couple of years ago a member of the president's cabinet wrote to Dean H. and complained that he had not been admitted to Princeton 30 years ago. He said that after being rejected from Princeton, he attended Harvard, got a PhD., had a successful career, and was now one of the most powerful men in the nation. Princeton should have accepted him. Dean H. wrote back, "Every year we reject many highly qualified candidates to Princeton, so that Harvard can have some."</p>
<p>lol...cookiemom
legendofmax...your comment about ivyleagechamp's name made me laugh out loud! hehehe...:)...THANKS!</p>
<p>talk is cheap, Dean H.</p>
<p>ivyleaguechamp, are you over from the harvard ea board?</p>
<p>I just hope I don't have to send cookies to Cambridge next year.</p>
<p>i like to float around all the boards that are on my list :D</p>
<p>lol cookiemom. Is your son applying there too? Let's all hope cookies go to our happy orange bubble.</p>
<p>Harvard's acceptance letter is like a diploma... one friend has it framed and up on his wall at home.</p>
<p>Now THAT is something hard to turn down. I would have kept my acceptance letter had it looked nice like that.</p>
<p>aww, that is a bit c ocky though I think...they sort of expect people to frame and cherish it forever...and I thought the education was more important?</p>
<p>"and I thought the education was more important?"</p>
<p>Once people discover that they can virtually NOT work and get by with B's here (A's in Harvard's case), then only the committed people end up working for their "important education." Alcoholconsumes the life of many a student at college.</p>
<p>on the 'friend' and the friend and the chick:
actually that sounds a whole lot like my story except that we're still besties and they broke up when she moved to ohio and then she got fat now she is a cow. so there. she couldve been my cow, but no... =)</p>
<p>Where in Ohio, invictus?</p>
