Bragging about my grandson

[Karen]

Harvard has many strong departments, including Engineering, and of course, he'll be not far from us! I have friends who work there, not in Admissions, though.

Well, it's not a given that he will end up there

He's also checking out Penn, RPI, maybe Brown. And some of the smaller schools like Franklin & Marshall. His other grandmother was Dean of Students at F & M, so he could get in there tomorrow.

That's wonderful, Grace! Of course you should brag. He's done you proud! I wish him much success and prosperity.

Thanks, Mary.

That's great, and of course you have bragging rights. I'm wishing him all the best.

My granddaughter will also be a senior in the fall, and right now she hasn't as yet decided on a definite field to pursue. She was leaning toward architectural design, but now she's also considering psychology. Pretty diverse!

That's very flattering to hear from Harvard. I'd be proud too.

(Of course, Purdue has a very good Engineering Dept as well)

My daughter is also a junior with engineering as her goal. She has received quite a few packets but none form Harvard

Her criteria is good engineering and diving.

The sad thing to me is most of her packets are because of diving and she has a 4.3 gpa and did really well on her SAT's but the schools are all about the sports.

Congratulations to your grandson for doing so well!
