too- what is your daughter going into? UM has a wonderful reputation and looks great on the resume.

I'd like a couple of the 'old fashioned' blizzards that we used to have - the kind the shut down the roads and cars stuck all over, drifts higher than you are! Seems like those were in the good old days!!

We have several inches of snow cover, but the roads are all clear today. I was just listening to the weather report for the end of the week and they are saying a major cold spell will be here- coldest yet!

sarv, This month she says she is interested in plastic surgury, well, for the past 6 months. That is why I had her apply to Alma, they have a very high percentage of acceptance into the Michigan Med. Schools.

But she really has her heart set on a big University. U of M specifically.
U of M is a harder school to get a high grade point in, which you need for Med. School. Several people have told me, 'don't go to u of m if you want to go to med school. They accept more from other schools than their own undergrad. program.

Daughter also has a friend who wants to go there, and if she makes it in, then they can room together. No such friend for MSU or Alma. I keep saying, this should be all about you and your future, not about a roommate.

Both hubby and I are MSU grads, so we are pushing for MSU, but in the end, it is her decision.

I guess this is pretty much the speech I gave to her over the weekend. LOL
