notredame, I’ve read about some kids who have sorted it into how many different schools, how many pieces from each school, and other mind-numbing inanities.

DS1 decided to weigh it because the first time we took a box of college mail out to be recycled, it was really heavy – so he decided to weigh it. He is so skinny (5’10", 120 lbs. dressed and soaking wet) and the total was becoming such a huge proportion of his weight that we kept a running tab. (In fact, by the time this is done in April, the total will be greater than his weight!)

Now if DS2 gets his weight in college mail…he’s a 235 lb. defensive tackle…YIKES! We have already started that tally.

DS1 checked CS soph year and heard from lots of engineering schools. Junior year he checked math and heard from the engineering schools plus LACs.
