<p>Aug 2004 is when we had to re-register…fun, all those lost post counts!!!</p>
<p>And all those lost postings!</p>
<p>I was only on the old forums for maybe a couple of months before they switched over.</p>
<p>[College</a> Confidential Discussion](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/]College”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/)</p>
<p>Oh the memories. :P</p>
<p>So Mr. C, any decision by your lovely daughter?</p>
<p>My current friend-kids’ count:</p>
<p>UT-SW and Baylor College of Medicine </p>
<p>is the home of Duke grads, OU grads, Princeton grads, UT grads and also Rice grads. And those are only the kids that I know, which number about 9. In other words, the great kids go wherever.</p>
<p>Best of her choices to your D, but never, never, never let her think that a local (affordable) school is second best.</p>
<p>Doesn’t she have until April 15? Probably is stretching the process to the last minute and will spring her decision on dear old dad as he signs his tax return. :)</p>
<p>I know I should probably wait for Curm to post himself on one of the parents’ threads…but…he has posted on the Pre-Med thread that his daughter has chosen Yale.</p>
<p>(I am not as much of an “oldtimer” as some of the rest of you…but…have followed his daughter’s story with interest. A real classic “CC” HS, College admissions, and now Grad school, story.)</p>
<p>Couldn’t search for this thread. I have been limited to an iphone and can’t work it for @#$%. Sorry. Yep. Yale by a nose. Anyone know a good KOA campground where she can pitch her tent in New Haven? She clicked send at 11:08 last night. It was not an easy decision for her but in the end, she didn’t want the “familiar” as much as she wanted the “new”. Montessori Med School here she comes.</p>
<p>Curm…not likely she will run into many people in New Haven who will even know what “KOA” is! Maybe they’ll think it’s some kind of fraternity (although certainly not at Yale!)</p>
<p>
KOA too upscale for Yale and New Haven? Well, it don’t have to have no shower facilities or clothes washers if there is a crick nearby. Any campsite will do. ;)</p>
<p>Oh I’m so glad about this news! Bring on the ketchup soup! ;)</p>
<p>Congrats to y’all for the decision. It will be awesome. New chapter. How cool.</p>
<p>Just found this update and had a deja vu; I really thought I had read this news a while back.</p>
<p>CONGRATS!</p>
<p>Heartfelt congrats on a great decision! Wishing her much continued success. 
:)</p>
<p>Curm, time to have a huge garage sale & make a few bucks! How very exciting for your D. Remind her (often) that you may well need the “helping” favor returned in your old age!! ;)</p>
<p>Congats to all the curmudgeons!</p>
<p>Best wishes to the Mudgette ! Hope she comes back home to practice medicine!</p>
<p>
Yeah, well. There’s been some modifications there, too. 
What once was a given is now …not so much a given. I’ve explained my whole retirement plan “thang” to her (i.e. living in the spare room of her “doctor condo”). She’s not amused. </p>
<p>To be fair, she said that if I was destitute and peeing on myself, I could move in. I’m halfway there. ;)</p>
<p>Oh, just wait a couple of years until they do that med school residency shuffle thing. Dallas and Houston may suddenly seem much more attractive.</p>
