- New York City Thoughts on American University? Is it a decent school for international studies?
- Yes, pretty good.
- dc is a great town for a college student, esp for international studies
- Solid school for a B student or an A student who wants lots of merit.
- IMCP: No, it's for American students only. Hence the name.

- Fatback (IMCP): The added benefit is you'll have lots of time to post stupid shit on here, which is also what I do. You do kinda have to curb your spending on vending machine...(more)

- New York City Would you feel comfortable with this? Sister and her DDs (9 and 14) want to visit and stay a few days. DH and I had first dose last week, sis will be a few days out from 2nd...(more)
- you can totally suggest a hotel. or that they quit socializing for 5-7 days and test before coming. I'd offer to do the same, of course.
- the school part masked seems fine, but i'd have some concerns if they are socializing indoors with other unvaccinated people. so just take a break from that for a few days and...(more)
- no, not nuts. But having said that, BIL came stayed with us a few days last week with his 2 kids and even though I wasn't 100% comfortable, we did it. Cousins were happy to see...(more)
- Why can’t they wait a couple of weeks until your vaccine is fully in effect. And yes, I’d definitely want them to take precautions the days proceeding the visit since your kids...(more)
- They want to come this weekend so there won’t be time for them to take some days off from their activities and get tested before coming

- New York City My DH is pressuring me to move from NY to CT. I've never lived in a suburb before. Anyone moved from the city to CT and came back?...(more)
- where in CT?
- Greenwich
- We left for philly burbs. Very happy and don’t plan to go back (we’re in Wayne)
- IMCP: I'd stay in NYC. Suburban life is awful.
- So one reason to move to CT.
- moved to the suburbs and we are very happy!
- fwiw- I moved to ct from Brooklyn 12 years ago. I don't miss it.
- I moved and don’t like it as much. But I am just staying and trying to enjoy the pluses.

- New York City Williams or Cornell?...(more)
- For those disciplines, I'd choose Cornell.
- Cornell
- For my DC it would be Williams. Let her choose.
- How can you dislike an opinion? It is what we were asked to provide.
- Williams
- If artsy and introverted I would recommend Williams.
- Agreed.
- Can’t go wrong with either. I’d let her pick. The kids I know at both are super super happy
- No she makes poor decisions- I must make the choice
- LOL
- No she makes poor decisions- I must make the choice
- Cornell isn’t the artsiest but neither is Williams. But I would say Williams has more artsy types. Cornell is very sports and frat kids tbh
- Cornell def has artsy people..the architecture school etc has tons of artsy types.
- Sorry just speaking from personal experience. All kids I know who went to Cornell very “preppy” ish. Niece was in a sorority there, she’s 27 and I swear to god she’s been to mo...(more)
- My gf's incredibly nerdy and pathologically shy dc went to Cornell and loved it.
- Yeah it’s a big school I guess. Which is why I vote Williams for OP’s dc who is introverted!
- It is such a school and there are all types..preppy kids, arty kids, geeky kids...with over ten thousand syptudents you can’t generalize...but since there is the architecture...(more)
- Ok architecture does not equal artsy....
- From what I see, there are artsy kids...crunchy kids, preppy kids, sporty kids, conservative kids, all types
- But I know their mfa is decent. Maybe some artsy grad students
- Ok architecture does not equal artsy....
- My gf's incredibly nerdy and pathologically shy dc went to Cornell and loved it.
- I don't consider the architects I know to be "srty"
- arty
- Sorry just speaking from personal experience. All kids I know who went to Cornell very “preppy” ish. Niece was in a sorority there, she’s 27 and I swear to god she’s been to mo...(more)
- Cornell def has artsy people..the architecture school etc has tons of artsy types.
- Cornell for my dc
- What was the Ivy she was hoping for? That might give a better sense.
- - no subject -...(more)
- Well. she got Dream Offers, so STFU!
- Why are you so angry? Op’s dc is not yours.
- Well. she got Dream Offers, so STFU!
- - no subject -...(more)
- More likely to meet a future finance guy at Williams.
- Such a crazy year. My dc's friend with decent SAT, GPA, ecs is going to Cornell.
- "decent?" URM? First Gen? ED?
- Williams
- Can she watch student videos on day in life on YouTube? Ds did and it helped
- I was artsy and introverted, attended a large university and transferred to a smaller lac where I was much happier
- What was her dream school? Are there any specific similarities you can draw between that school and either Cornell or Williams?
- Princeton...(more)
- This post has been disliked 3 times. I'm just stuck on the total insensitivity of your post. Your child has two options that many would kill for. I hope you don't talk like this to people IRL.
- Np I really don’t find this insensitive. Maybe you are projecting
- Maybe. But I guess to open with "The college process didn't work out as anticipated" as a lead-in for the choice between Cornell and Williams struck me as obnoxious. Who...(more)
- Totally obnoxious . Dream schools are a toxic notion. Every kid should have a range of schools they are excited about . And if parents are modeling this behavior there is...(more)
- All kids are different. For top kids Princeton was a real shot and it’s natural that they are disappointed.
- Maybe. But I guess to open with "The college process didn't work out as anticipated" as a lead-in for the choice between Cornell and Williams struck me as obnoxious. Who...(more)
- Kids aren’t on here. She’s good. Parents need to chill.
- If you can't handle a normal post like this on a message board, you should get help. Her DD was a much better candidate than your child.
- Np I really don’t find this insensitive. Maybe you are projecting
- I think the art museum at Williams has been innovative and not stodgy. It is a teaching museum and the students have been involved in the shows. The former director left in 2018...(more)
- Seriously? Your kid is “settling” for Williams and knows nothing about the arts program there ? I hope this is a troll
- OP: I'm so sorry if this struck anyone as insensitive!...(more)
- Is Williams still so white and preppy?
- No. It's diverse now. Every kid I know who got in is Asian. And the kids love it there.
- It’s ~not~ but it ~is~ to some extent. The “black at” account for Williams was a lot
- No. It's diverse now. Every kid I know who got in is Asian. And the kids love it there.
- Same $?
- So, you're saying she's disappointedshe didn't get into HYP? Get in line.
- Williams is an absolute dream. How can you even think twice? Williams vs Harvard would be a difficult choice and i would most likely choose Williams. The only minus is the winter...(more)
- Where do you live? If in NYC, Williams is no more remote than NY, but I suppose it's a lot easier to get a flight from Cornell. What school at Cornell? What are the dance...(more)

- New York City Are your students taking their APs online or in person this year?
- In person. Could have chosen digital at home but if there are IT issues, the school has no responsibility
- Not offered at our school this year

- New York City So this year was horrible, admission wise. Same for next year? Any advice for the juniors?
- Get really good letters of rec
- Consider it a lottery
- Better because not hundreds of Covid deferrals
- This was only a real factor at the very top schools.
- this is a made up issue.
- Princeton and Duke and other schools said they held 200+ seats for returning students
- No, it was real for some schools.
- Apply to a target school ED, don’t overreach. Fall in love with a realistic school.
- Junior mom here and I’m already feeling sick over the process.
- This post has been deleted.
- I think that’s smart.
- my dd was one and done this year. it was awesome.
- Which school. Was it more of a safety?
- apply wide, know thyself, work on a narrative that ties your EC, interests and ideas together
- ^don't over complicate your decision making process. if you really want a school, and can afford to, apply ED. don't focus on the competition, but on your own goals.
- Advice: Research and make a list. Have an ED1, ED2 or EA, targets and a few safeties. Be positive about all of them. Get essays done early. Have DC attend as many virtual sessions...(more)
- And you fa possibly do a second ED2. Know which’s hoops let you convert later in the process. Colgate and a Villanova are two that do.
- this is actually great advice
- New York City Will people really leave NYC because of the tax hike?...(more)
- I'm staying.
- Yes. Financial firms are sending jobs from NYC to Florida and Utah
- Yup
- Idk. Dh quit work because our tax rate was over 50% (and, we had enough at that point).
- I already know one family moving to Florida.
- just as many are leaving FL though.
- But they’re not going to New York City
- And going where?
- who knows. I just read the net result is neutral.
- Georgia, Carolinas
- just as many are leaving FL though.
- We would if our kids were younger. And probably will when they are older
- three guys i work with did. we will have a florida office. 100% tax driven
- Did it pass?
- I did
- You bet they will. Capitalist residents and socialist policies don’t mix well.
- Dh moving his firm to FL.
- The people who will leave and those that already had one foot out the door.
- I am just over the $400 mark and dh isn't working which means this will hit our bottom line super hard...(more)

- Horrible. Poor family
- I think I need to sign off. So sad for family and the entire community.
- NYC is in a crisis. Deblasio is doing to kids what Cuomoo did to he people in nursing home
- Unbearable
- New York City Long shot but anyone have a hearing aid brand recommendation?
- No, only get the best you can afford. Life changing.
- My dad's internist recommends Lyric, I think it is called.
- Thanks trying to help my mom but so many options. I’ll take a look
- I’ve had Phonak for years. Many different styles and price points (all of them expensive, and none of them fully covered by my insurance).
- Thanks! Helpful to have some known brands to research
- The ones I have are completely in-ear—none of that fitting around your ear stuff. Pretty unnoticeable.
- Make sure you get a named brand. You don't want to be tethered to the same audiologist because you are using "his" brand.
- Good advice. She tried something years ago from Costco but hated it, and just sent me this random list of cheaper versions that look iffy
- My experience was that the audiologist I went to showed me a variety of brands and styles, as well as costs and durability. I didn’t feel pushed to choose one specific brand, but...(more)
- Main brands are phonak, oticon, starkey, etc. I think Costco hearing aids are Phonaks and are the best bang for your buck.
- Oh maybe phonak is what she tried? Ok great list I’ll do some research thank you!
- Very important to be tested and fitted by an audiologist! I have customized in-ear molds, and go in periodically to have my hearing tested and the aid settings adjusted.
- IMO customized ear molds are not necessary. I have Oticon Opns with their standard domes and it's fine.
- I think I have weird ear canals lol. The molds actually have the electronics inside them—don’t want to have them falling out!

- In all seriousness, that is a nice amount of space for the price. I wouldn’t live in that neighborhood but it has to be a lot better now that the Q runs there.
- I would never live in that neighborhood, but have any of you actually looked at the carrying costs? Its a terrible value.
