@jjjoanne Have her apply to McGill. It is in Montreal and 4 blocks from the Canadiens arena. 
Why didnât she think of that? :))
Same thing with the pronounciation thing for my daughter but with Dusquesne.
Apparently itâs pronounced Do-Cane, but my daughter kept jokingly saying âDue-kes-nayâ and couldnât get past that.
Itâs actually Duquesne.
@sevmom Good thing you pointed out my typo of adding an extra s. It underlines the point I was trying to make about that tricky name.
Fairleigh Dickinson University de-emphasized the anatomical reference, but in NJ was often referred to as âFairly Ridiculous University.â
My D21 nixed Haverford because they donât have enough recycling bins around campus.
@PetraMC Mizzou is the only school she will reluctantly deign to consider in the Midwest. She really is hard headed.
My D20 says that she is not interested in applying to any of the same schools that her sister applied to because, âother than grades and scores, we are nothing alike.â
I told her that they are all well researched great schools, fit our budget and might be worth looking into on her termsâŠ
My D told me today she will only consider schools that offer Korean language (no, we are not Korean). Talk about limiting your options.
@Dancingmom518 Is that the same technique my daughter used as a child? you know, i will only eat round cereal with holes in it (oh you mean CHeerios?)âŠsetting a parameter so they only one that fits is one they want anyway?
@bopper No, she just really, really loves the Korean language and culture. She is trying to self-teach herself Korean and learned how to cook Korean cuisine, listens to the music, watches movies, etc, etc. Itâs a great interest to have, but sheesh, she couldnât like something thatâs offered at more schools?
My child refused an entire metropolitan area (Boston) b/c heâs a Yankees fan.
@ChaosParent23 Good! :))
My daughter got waitlisted at Duke. I think my husband was relieved when she picked a school (Vanderbilt) that didnât have a history of beating his beloved UConn in the Final 4.

Weâre immigrants. My daughter wasnât interested in colleges in places her friends back home âwould never have heard ofâ ?
No to Wesleyan. The dining hall felt like it was mill too far away from freshman dorms. Simply. too long of a walk down a steep hill with the cold and snow.
No to Harvard. The word âcollegeâ on all the letterhead made it sound like it was the diminutive form of âHarvard Universityâ.
@Memays My D didnât like the bee mascot at Tech so it was off the list lol.
The Hallyu wave has hit lots of people, trust me.
