4th house, sorry that you found my comment racist and offensive. I was speaking in general terms, could have just as easily made a stereotype comment about any other race. My point is that no school wants all one type.

I do know that your son was a QB match recipient. As a mom of a QB match D, I know what a blessing this program is. I have followed your posts, and yes, your son does have VERY impressive stats. I still don't think that it is a definate indicator of being a "better" engineer, doctor, lawyer, etc. than someone else. D has a friend at Princeton who got in with a 32 ACT. I can't remember what your son has, maybe a 35, but that does not indicate to me he will be more successful than D's friend. I guess my point is that once you are in college, you start with a clean slate. Most kids that are at top tier schools are there due to their work ethic. 32, 33, 35, it's all the same once you are in.

Congrats on Princeton BTW. D had it ranked #2 on her QB list, but got into her first choice. They have a kind of crazy schedule for holidays and finals, right? I just remember D's friend being home for Christmas, then going back for finals, then coming back home again. Too much money for plane fares!
