Harvard College

Received a letter and a financial aid reply card today (9/19/2006). From Harvard. Yep. Probably the crowning achievement - a recruitment letter from Harvard. Much better than the tiny postcard I received from Princeton, anyway, don't you think? But...

It's expensive, and it's in Boston. Need I say more?

Ah, I will anyway.The financial aid reply card is attached to a small info card that says: "Parents and families with incomes less than $60,000 no longer will be expected to contribute to their children's Harvard College tuition." Nice. And how am I supposed to pay for it? Just asking...

Anyhow: "Under separate cover, we will be mailing you a packet of material, including an application." I wonder if they'll waive the application fee too? Wouldn't it be fun to apply just to see if they'd accept me? (insert the sticky-tongue-out laughing face from AIM at this point)


Wow! There are fifty colleges in the Boston area?!?

haha, yeah would you believe they've squished so many in one area? if you look at a map that pinpoints them all there isn't enough room for all the pins.

you're not a-kidding! There must be streets full of just the administration buildings! :-P

HAHAHA! oh man, i swear they don't know what to do with all of their administration buildings. there's an office for, i believe, brown university down the road from brandeis. brown is a good twenty minutes away on I-95, with no traffic. where do they come up with their logic?!
