Mixed. It’s a sign of how great the university has become. At the same time, I like the idea of the opportunity of the best state school being...
No, you don't "just have to work harder." You have to tailor your application to entertain/impress the people reviewing it. It's part academic,...
We're at a point where UF can be the largest overall university in the country and smart and qualified kids will be denied admission to go....
If you're talking about the affirmative action ruling, I'm not sure that's true. I know Roberts wrote the majority, but I find his opinions...
If we're going by Constitutional analysis, assuming universities in question are subject to 14th Amendment Equal Protection standards... What...
I apologize in advance for the long post. A few things I'd like to note: 1) Most kids, even the ones who devote themselves to a pet cause and...

On a side note, I’m hoping cigars aren’t as bad as cigarettes :D
There was a lot more randomness earlier on in the pandemic. What made the vaccines such a dramatic turning point is it gave people agency. It...
Incorrect. And this logic (based on things that are false) is exactly the sort of thing that furthers skepticism regarding the vaccines. On one...
The infection numbers for Delta may have been brutal, but certainly not the death rate for people who were vaccinated. Contrary to media...
I've discussed the issue with per capita statistics in the past. But the biggest predictor for COVID deaths were probably the following: 1....
