Re: LTE 2.0
What's the harm in letting her go visit, and see for herself? I had brief aspirations of going to Yale, until I saw the armpit of the Northeast, aka New Haven.ArkieDukie wrote:Got an interesting phone call tonight from my older sister. She wanted to know what she should tell my 18-yr-old niece (a HS senior) to convince her that she doesn't want to go to Yale. One of her friends is going there and wants my niece to go visit with her. My answer was high crime rate, followed by indebtedness after graduation. With that being said, I have a philosophical question: would an honors student with a 28 ACT score from a small school in MO be able to handle a place like Yale? Am I awful for thinking that she's not up for it and/or does't have what it takes? Honestly, I don't know if she's prepared for Ivy Leage. I know I wouldn't have been afer high school. Does that sound awful?
But she undoubtedly could handle the academics; she'd be unique if she's coming from the midwest into a traditionally NE-based student body. Might be a good place for her. What are the objections besides the crime? Besides the overly-publicized recent crime on campus, it's no worse there than any other down-on-its-luck inner city (and I'd imagine the campus is very sheltered from a lot of that.) Does she know what she wants to study?

Ooh, fun. How long did you play before? I want to start up again one of these days. (Step 1: Get a piano.) Are you playing more classical music, or modern?Bostondevil wrote:I am starting piano lessons again with my sons' piano teacher. First lesson is this afternoon. I need to go cut my fingernails.

Re: LTE 2.0
I've done step 1 - I have a piano. Just need to take lessons. I'm the only child of 5 that didn't have music lessons growing up. I did take voice as an adult - so I tried to get the parents to pay to make up for my deprived childhood.DevilAlumna wrote:Ooh, fun. How long did you play before?

How'd that work out for you?

You can change the display font - did you try that?
