RE: the cost of schools..

Is it me or am I the only one that filled out a FAF form when I was in high school and got basically the same price to attend Ithaca, Umass, Hobart or Union?

Dont know about that ---only applied to Hobart among that group...
But lets just say when it came down to brass tax between Fisher and Colgate-----I saw numbers that gave me the willies!

Ok- you put it a little more gently than i but we agree that we look forward to UC being a much stronger E8 team!

I got the same price between RPI and Hobart. Surprisingly, SUNY Albany was up there? WTF?? I got alot of consideration b/c of football but didn't quite understand why SUNY was such a crappy deal?

No one beats Hamilton for sticker shock, way over priced.

good call. Did anyone else go on a recruiting trip there? I went with a friend from HS who actually ended up playing there. When we were meeting w/ the coach, he basically told me that I'd get accepted if I committed to football but otherwise they couldn't afford to "burn an admission" slot or any aid on someone "like me". WTF?? I almost dropped the guy...I was 11th in my class out of 220 and a solid A- student. SAT's could've been a little better but what I really think he was trying to tell me was that my parents weren't rich enough. I felt violated...a true victim of 'classism'. Fortunately, RPI played Hamilton in a JV game my Freshman year and we won - got to stick it to them man....

+k for wanting a debate FA91. Seems like you are not going to get one today. If you raise a point of contention you just get feigned indignance from others. At least Truth responded and made an argument.

fisheralum91 · November 13, 2006, 05:19:45 PM

OH WELL- MAYBE TOMORROW!

It might be for the best if I didn't answer that!
(would put self at high risk for verbalabuse/insult!)

Generally, by posting on here you run the risk of verbal abuse and insult. But, if you prove to not be a moron, then everything is ok.

Yeah I'd love to meet some of you guys. ICeman, response.

Stupid question.... after each round, does the best remaining seed always play the worst within region, or does it just go straight through march madness style?
