Yeah. He just really loves Boulder campus. Skiing etc. know he can probably get into a “better” program but that’s his thought. UW also in the mix at #3. He’s also been to that campus and obviously loved it. Haven’t had wisky or Illinois on the radar. Maybe he should. No interest in Georgia tech. His older brother got accepted there but chose the 40 acres. We are assuming Auburn is a slam dunk for the ultimate safety school. Have a buddy who’s kid went there for aerospace and he landed at NASA. Hook em.
Last kid is Rising senior . Applying to aerospace engineering in fall for 2025. Top 2%. 34 ACT. Well known good high school. Total Class of 1170. Decent extras and demonstrated interest in major in high school through extensive research projects etc. I am alum as are his two older brothers? I’m sure that doesn’t matter. He got a chance ? Applying to Michigan , Purdue , auburn , Washington , Clemson and UC Boulder . Colorado is first backup choice. I’m ready for this to end. Hook em .
Fond memories of hitting chuys on westheimer and Kirby back in the day..circa 90-93. Getting Thursday nights started with a dot or two, some shiner, and some chips and salsa before heading over to gman in rice village to listen to Trish and Darin. Good times. I should cross post this in the “getting old sucks” thread . [emoji25][emoji25]
Co-sign on Breck. Here for the week and so many options right here or 1 hour car ride or less away. We have come here every summer for the past 10 years and have only done a few hikes multiple times and that’s by choice.
Subscribed. Retired last year and wife doing the same in 6 months. Last kid graduates from high school next May. I’ve got evergreen Colorado, Chappel hill nc, Knoxville tn, on my shortlist. Plan to travel to each for a month to test the waters next year. Will miss TX but it’s just too damn hot for us. We love the outdoors too much to not be outside 5 months out of the year.
Worked with his dad back in the day. Former longhorn player. I’m sure he’s relieved not to have deal with their weirdness as he’s a huge horn . Will try to connect and get some scoop.
