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.

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

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

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!

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. |

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! |

Duh!, that wasn't what I meant. 
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. |
