Porky's Butthole

Hello Scoopers!  Porky here after a long hiatus with a serious question.  Porky's only child son is a current high school senior who has been accepted to, and is seriously considering Marquette.  This past weekend, Porky and family traveled to a rival midwestern Jesuit institution that he's also been accepted to for their admitted student weekend, and were very impressed.  They rolled out the red carpet, the President gave a speech to the parents, they had lots of student and faculty sessions and overall it was an extremely comprehensive and well organized event for both parents and students alike.

We also plan on visiting Marquette as soon as possible, but they seem to do things a bit differently.  They have several "Find Your Fit Friday" events in Feb and March for admitted students, but as best Porky can tell, the Find Your Fit Fridays don't seem anywhere near as big or eventized, for lack of a better term.  They also have two admitted student day events in April so the question Porky is posing to fellow scoopers who's kids have recently gone through the process with MU, is what is the better event to attend? 

Porky obviously hopes his son will eventually choose MU, but wants to make sure, given the high cost of travel from the NYC area and what we've already spent traveling to other schools, that we go when MU will be putting its best foot forward with a comparable dog and pony show.  At the event we went to this past weekend, there were students and their families from all over the U.S. so it was great for Porky Jr. to interact with them.

The digital and traditional mail communication from MU hasn't been as frequent or informative and short on details to the point where Porky can't help but wonder if there's some geographic discrimination going on here.  If Porky and Family lived in greater MKE or Chicagoland for example, would that still be the case?  We're definitely going to reach out to admissions to pose the same question on which event makes more sense to attend, but Porky would greatly appreciate Scoopers' candid opinions first.  Thanks in advance for your responses.

I think Porky Jr. should be referred to as Piglet.

Your comment about regional discrimination simply does not make any sense to me.

I'm guessing the other Jesuit school is Creighton. I suggest that you inform Piglet that if he chooses them over Marquette, you will fully support his decision and then quickly add that he will be disinherited.

If you want Pork Chop to choose MU, get him to a hoops game at the fiSERV foRUM.

Everything else is gravy.
