Good on your wife. Sounds like she knows Harvard is doomed

Kinda off/on topic, but somehow the Harvard Crimson is part of my Google news feed, and they are so damn critical of their own university. You would think "Harvard is doomed" based upon their own newspaper.

Perhaps it is more noble and enlightened to criticize than to acknowledge success?

Alternatively, students doing investigative journalism are setting themselves up for future jobs with those stories.

Puff pieces don't have the same impact on a resume.  ;D

Out of curiosity, what other schools is he looking at? And wherever he goes, I'm sure he'll still be rooting for MUBB

He's a casual sports fan, which is odd since he went to about 20 mubb games/year as an infant/kid sitting on our laps.   I guess Wojo claimed another victim.

He's got a list of ~20 schools, applying to ~5 in the early period.  MIT, Michigan, Purdue, UW, and maybe Stanford.  Maybe Notre Dame too.

Very smart kid, but we get it, there are lots of smart kids out there.  He's got a shot.

Fingers crossed that UW is Washington

The sister was once trying (well, more than once, it's her M.O.) to big time us about having gone to Hahvahd and my response to her was "have you ever been able to watch your alma mater in the Final Four? No? We win."

Apologies if this is the best place to post, but I was curious what people think of Lake Forest College? Does it have a strong reputation? My child is exploring it and we don't live in the Midwest

Decent liberal arts college with a good reputation - similar to about a dozen other colleges in the midwest. Pretty campus, but kind of tucked away in a suburb.

Should have also asked...is she planning on being a student athlete? The reason I ask is they have a good reputation as a lower-level D3 athletic program.

As to LFC, my daughter went there and graduated 9 years ago. Played basketball all 4 years. Hockey is big there. Have a rink on campus. Very strong in handball, of all sports. It's a good liberal arts school especially if planning on staying in Chicago area. Have had grads in high level positions in both the City of Chicago and Cook County. It's a very nice campus in a very exclusive suburb. Nice well maintained safe campus. Pretty good scholastic and vocational counseling. My daughter appreciated her time there very much.  She's been back several times for career days since graduation. Back then LFC took $10k off tuition for all Illinois residents which was nice. Hope this helps.
