[QUOTE="Bbuck21, post: 1790861, member: 748813"] My wife and I both graduated from UofI. My son attended Stevenson HS. He had a 4.0+ GPA, a 32 ACT, played HS sports and worked at a kids summer camp for years. His dream school was Illinois. He of course had been on campus with us enough over the years for football and BB games. When he walked on the quad the day of the student visit day, he couldn't stop smiling. Illinois said they would give him no credit for the AP classes and tests he passed. He was "wait listed". When he received his "congratulations", he had already decided on another college that gave him out of state scholarships that lowered his tuition to less than in state tuition. He also received 11 credit hours for his AP classes. Which allowed him to double major plus a minor in 4 years and graduated Magna Cum Laude. When he opened that "congratulations" letter from Illinois, instead of being proud and excited he said, "!!!! you!". I was actually very proud of him, because I felt the same way. [/QUOTE]
