>>Just think: if the drug bust was done before May 1st, the SDSU waitlist would surely be eliminated, with all the parents rerouting the kids to other "safer" schools.<<

I heard the school president being interviewed on the San Diego NPR station this morning, and they asked him about the unfortunate timing of the bust - just as students are picking their colleges. And he said the timing couldn't be helped. They had to do the right thing. They had a mess on their hands and had to clean it up.

>>I'm sorry to say this because I like being nice to everyone but SDSU is a terrible place to go to school (unless maybe you're doing business) and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.<<

Hold on. One of the smartest scientists in my company went to college at SDSU. From there she got her Ph.D. at UC Santa Barbara and is now one of the top scientists in her field. I'd say going to SDSU worked out wonderfully for her.
