Schools that are surprisingly similar to Swat

Sorry you picked Stanford Marlgirl, but I’m sure you won’t regret it. You sound like a very capable young Marwoman and I am sure you will make your mark in the world wherever you go to school. As I’m sure you know, it is the students who make the school much more than the converse.

You may remember me from those meaning of meaning all-nighters I told you about last fall. Too bad my son won’t get to know you. His loss.

BTW, I don’t think there are really any HYPS type schools except HYPS. Not even M.I.T. or Columbia, but I’m not the last word.

As for Pomona. It was very high on my son’s list. Very happy students, great weather, the socal beaches I grew up on. Downsides are smog and (crassly) a little less prestige.

Good luck on the Farm. Go Bears!
