<p>OK, so Bart finally ages and becomes a high school junior…</p>

<p>What colleges is he thinking of?
Is he interested in a major?
How does he deal with his less than stellar behavioral record, i.e. suspensions, juvenile hall, etc.?
Is he active in the college selection process?
Who goes on college tours with him, Marge or Homer?
What part does Lisa play in the selection process?
Who fills out the FAFSA, Marge or Homer?
How does he do on the SAT/ACT? Does he even know what an SAT II is?
Who writes his recommendations?</p>

<p>Nothing like a long wait in a doctor’s office to get the mind working…</p>

<p>He could be like Duffman and get course credit at Dartmouth for beer trick-pouring.</p>

<p>…or be like Otto (the burnout schoolbus teacher) and get tenure at Brown.</p>
