12 for 12
 

My wife's brother has just gotten word from his last school he applied to.Applications were sent to 12 schools and they were all accepted. He will be moving to Philly for the next four years starting this fall to attend the Wharton school of businees at U PENN.Hard work does pay off,what a future he has.

Yea, the recession has hit colleges really hard. Most have had to lower their standards way below normal to get enrollment.

Thee best in the country, his future is made. :)

You could have left that out Spence.

Good school. My niece is asst director of admissions at Wharton.

Stonehill has been packed this week with potential attendees and their families.
No neanderthals or cave men were sighted though. So the standards can't be too low

congrats to your brother in law

That's great news, congrats to him.

It was a pretty obvious joke. :)

Good news, great school, now to do good with the opportunity.

Friend ,,,, Great news .. I admire an education now .. I didn't pass go went directly to roofing .. :jester:

impressive

I always appreciate it when Spence thinks he is being witty.

Bill, do you work at Stonehill? Another good school ,and getting better all the time.

If I responded to one of Dangles posts without any sense of sarcasm he'd think something was up.

That being said, your brother in law does realize that the Trump haircut is mandatory doesn't he :hee:

Da wife does.

Update;
Last hurah is coming soon at UPenn. Bill will graduate with a major in marketing and psychology. The recruiting at the school is constant, Bill is in the interview process and will decide between some exciting opportunities.The cream does rise to the top as the offers are from some of the top companies who are looking for bright minds and hard workers.

wow! i'll say.

I guess the only downside is no more keg parties and feeling up freshmen chicks on the quad.

Any scholarships?????

Remember that admission doesn't mean you can AFFORD to go, just that you have been accepted.

Congrats to him and good luck in his future endeavors!

Smart folks bum scholarships,he will graduate with no debt.

My younger sister went to school to become a RN, and while she was going to school year-round she was working at the Brigham and Woman's hospital.....as a nurse's aid.
She finished 4 years of college in 3 and was offered a job BEFORE she graduated.

She finished college with ZERO debt, and a very well paying job right out of the chute!

Hope he has the same aspirations.

I know, but you could have left it out.

thats great, congrats to him, but isnt your wifes brother, your brother in law?
:)

He is no aspirations to become an RN.
Offers include a gig with Oracle in San Fran
A communications gig where half the employees are in Beijing
A technology position outside of DC
An analyst position with Carmax
He worked through college with the Big Brothers and was the only student at Wharton placed on the Board
He is a geek and a Dem!

More like a son,going to fathers weekendat his frat tomorrow.I am proud of him and he sets a great example for my children. I will be taking my oldest boy with me to see what hard work yields.His blueprint is hard to argue with.

Duh!, that wasn't what I meant. :smash:
I should have said that I hoped he would have the desire to work his way through college, so that he wouldn't be straddled with student loans for the rest of his life.

Sounds like he won't have any issue paying off those student loans! Also sounds like he has some great opportunities there, congrats to him!

I'd go with the DC option. there are 5 available women for every man in DC right now. It's awesome..wish I was 30 years younger.
