2. Is there a Non-North American sports entity (team or whatever) that you have a rooting interest in?

5. What colleges did your family attend, (including 2 year and tech colleges)? Include yourself, wife, children, (grandchildren), parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, in-laws.

You got a smart kid there going to Duke, rated Top 25 nationally in academics. My daughter says she wants to go to college in North Carolina to a school with a good sports scene and sorority scene. I would like it if she went to Duke, but I don't know if she has the academic stones to make it, though, so far she is getting almost all As. (what kind of GPA/SAT/ACT scores did it take your son to get in there?)

That last batch looks like the Un. of Florida's football schedule. A pile of tomato cans and only a couple of mediocre SEC opponents. (Sorry Ballpeen, but that is the way it looks from my point of view)

As much as I enjoyed the VA sites, the Shilo battlefield is near and dear to my heart.It is so isolated from development and so unspoiled. A lot different to the manassass battlefield with rte. 66 running through the middle.

He finished HS with a 4.0....I don't remember the SAT score 2280 ???...his ACT was 33.

 

My daughters were just as good....but she wanted Louisville...ended up following my footsteps and got her law degree.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

ended up following my footsteps and got her law degree.

then hell's eternal fire awaits you both. just kidding, my girlfriend is in her 1st semester at akron law.

LOL...tell her it gets easier as she progresses..first year is wash out year. Schools look to weed out those who can't hack it and thankfully don't wait until the end to do so...saves a lot of time, effort, and money.

That'll do it. High School GPAs are difficult to assess because of the "weighted system" used. My son had a 3.7 in a non-weighted system. ACT of 32 (both 32 and 33 are in about the top 1/2 of 1% taking that test). Not quite as high in SAT. If not for a problem with math he may have had a similar score. He didn't want to go too far away, plus he wanted a small school. That is why he chose Kenyon. (I asked him to consider Duke, Notre Dame, Cornell, but he said not interested....came down to Oberlin and Kenyon). Duke is rated like #10 best in US, Kenyon #22.

And Tom Cruise was recently on campus, though that may or may not be considered a good thing. The Harvard Law Record did make some coins selling the pictures.
