My 4.2 99th percentile sat 3d kid did not get into SDSU, where my older lesser grades kid did. Standards definitely rising. I love SDSU for at least giving one of my kids a quality cheap engineering degree. I think the 3d kid would’ve got into my ivy league alma mater, but not fucking SDSU. Bummer.
Going to be very happy to be done paying college tuition. Extremely proud that I was able to get 3 through with no debt. Would not have believed it would happen 20 years ago when I was broke with 150k in student loan debt myself.
(Pats self on back)
I always thought it was cheesy at graduations when the speaker would ask grads to turn around and give their folks a hand for all their support
But goshdarnit, now that I’m old, I feel like I deserve a round of applause.
