there is no "suspecting" on my part. i would have no chance. Straight A's and good SAT scores alone don't get you in there.

for the $$ it's a darn good school. but as i said i would go to an Ivy if cost was not a factor (and i could get in).

this wager is like the Bear in the woods scenario. (i.e. who gets eaten up first). Usually there are more than one bears however.

i don't think the quality of the education at the Ivy's is multiples of the level of other schools but it's still pretty good. The best part of the Ivy's is the connections/alumni network (for your early years) and the other students. The professors at these big reasearch institutions are hit or miss anyway. some can't teach for their life. i usually have 1-2 summer interns from Columbia every year. They are so impressive and well rounded. and i usually get the dregs. i am scared to think how hard it is going to be for my kids to get into college. It's super competitive and extremely expensive.

Rutgers (overall) is still not really ranked national as an academic force. it's ranked 69 in US News and world report. However, some of their selective schools are very good and has great value. if i recall correctly it was called "rutgers college" when i was applying but it might have a dfferent term now.

i think you are taking the decision to not take Sam first overall very hard. This stuff happens all the time. Free agents are going to go to where the most money is, for the most part.

Interesting I have heard this two other times today. From different walks of life. Read his bio. Fascinating guy. Very dedicated.

Crazy thing is he could have tagged him for this year and if Brady retires B.B. continues on. Ad decision by pats.

I think they were hoping the giants took Sam so they could get stud rb. Calculated gamble that didn’t work.

Perhaps they changed their minds. Or they thought they could get baker and rb and that was better than Sam and top cb. They thought giants would take Sam. I understand that rational.

has he gone 6 months without getting into trouble?

How does tb2 do in his two starts

I believe it’s due to his retirement.

a ton of people in the NJ/NY area fall into that category. and that's why Rutgers is getting so many good students. i'd choose Rutgers over a above average private if i was paying full freight. For a school like buknell or lehigh. and those are good schools, my wife got a full ride to Lehigh many years ago. I just read recently that Columbia Medical school just got a big donation (250mm) that allows all their kids to go and not have any loans. they are going to be able to attract amazing students.

And yet he was drafted first.
