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

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.
