<p>Alex Doonesbury, '10?
So does today’s (May 10) Doonesbury comic strip imply that Alex has finally made her decision and is going to Cornell?</p>

<p>not “best.” “Best fit.” Alex was determining what was best for her, not poring over stats, rankings, and message board opinions. You go, girl.</p>

3

<p>Scrubs had an anti-Yale joke last night.</p>

4

<p>Maybe she’s really serious about Caltech…LA vs. Ithaca.</p>

<p>The drama continues. . . </p>

<p>glkecon2, I never congratulated you on your son’s decision. I don’t think you’ll regret it. :)</p>

<p>I am not sure that having a doonesbury character at Cornell will be a blessing, but I agreed with her choice.</p>

7

<p>Bet she ends up at Walden in the end. Expecting a different school in tomorrows strip. </p>

<p>As a Doonsebury fan and college frosh parent, this has been a fun strip to follow through Alex’s apps and decision process.</p>

<p>Do you think she’s double depositing?</p>

<p>The creator of the strip went to Yale and is a major contributor to that university.</p>

<p>And is married to Jane Pauley! Very curious if this is something that they have gone through this year or recently.</p>

<p>yaka, I also wondered that in an earlier Doonesbury thread. But the Pauley/Trudeau kids are older - finished or nearly finished college.</p>
