Surly kids who can't get into UT
others can weigh in.. but the emphasis on one's SAT/ACT score varies from school to school. Even more broadly, the general attitude towards among 4 year universities tend to eb and flow. UC schools don't even look at them. The last 5 years there has seem to be a general de-emphasis of them, but in the last year or so some schools have begun to publicly supported their merit and reverse their positions on them. Today, i would say if it is important to your son, developing a kick ass story (ie: essay) and lots of community service/school organization involvement might be the way to go. Especially community service in which he takes a leadership role in / not just show up and check the box. <-- All that is a bit daunting i know, especially if he is a typical teenager and not particularly motivated. Now that is today - 3 years from now; who knows?

we got soooo many UChicago mailers, which is surprising considering their acceptance rates is miniscule.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Jesus Christ, those guys are a beating. The content of their whole goddamn show is just middle-age white man griping and complaining about the government, their precious taxes, and people that don't look like them. So fucking put upon, these guys. It's relentless. Oh, Sirius, save me. .

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
he is equating/comparing 1) the circles painted on a the landing pads that Space X rockets returning to earth landed on to 2) the circles painted in fields for social distancing at Biden rallies during the 2020 election. What that has to do with Milwaukee at the beginning and him losing bigly in 2020 and being abused by other counties at the end, i have no idea. ......and to that matter what is the relevance of the similarity in the circles in the Elon/Biden comparison in the first place.

How do these guys pay their lawyers for all these lawsuits? The amount of money just burned must be incredible. I some how managed to live 56 years on this earth without once giving a lawyer money. (no offense to the Shaggy elite on here)

lots of flat developable land in east Austin, eh?- Hiking in hot springs arkie?
went 3 years ago. We stayed at the Arlington and it was fine. Yeah, it could use a refresher, but I am a sucker for old grand hotels. Again, the hikes in the park are fine, but not awe inspiring or anything. The town is a bit of a downer - lots of closed shops/stores along the Main street - maybe victims of covid - we were there about a year and half into it. we also did a short stay in Eureka Springs and did a day hike at Lake Leatherwood which was really nice. If i had to go back in that area, i would do Eureka Springs again. Stayed at another lovely old hotel - The Crescent - built in 1886.- SEC Catch-all Thread
i guess it shouldnt be lost on anyone but the 3 teams we play in our remaining road games all beat a top 10 team at home this week. Vanderbilt #1 Arkansas #4 Aggy #9 - we need to bring it every game. This bye week was an eye opener.- 2024 Houston Texans Season Thread
