  1. Getting into UWash is awesome. Its a great school. You must have had great SAT/ACT scores to get into UW and wait-listed at Chapel Hill! Thank you. We are very fortunate that our kids are super hard-workers.
  2. Harvard is the one she would have to go to if she gets in.
  3. thats a great school! my oldest applied there.
  4. i didnt mean it that way. I am just excited for her. Sorry if I came across that way.
  5. whoa! thats amazing!
  6. I am excited for my daughter and wanted to share her application process to Texas. I am sorry if that offends you. I shared the other colleges she is applying to in part so I can interact with other parents whose kids are applying to the same places and also because I hope she chooses Texas over those schools.
  7. yeah phd's kid definitely took after his mama!
  8. your 12 yo will probably end up your superstar!
  9. thats great! what type of engineering?
  10. she sounds like an extraordinary young lady. i am sure she will find her way into UT.
  11. That's awesome! My oldest son thought about applying to the polymathic scholars but did Turing Scholars instead. I think he has several friends in the polymathic program if you want me to run any questions by him.
  12. i got my new Pixel 3 XL yesterday. i am loving it so far.
  13. I know we did this on the old site but couldn't find it on Surly. So here we go.... My girl submitted her application to Texas. She is applying to College of Natural Sciences, Dean Scholars, Plan II, etc... She will be auto-admitted into Texas. Hopefully, she joins her two older brothers in Plan II. If she gets Dean Scholar, she is going to Texas. If not, we will be waiting to hear back from Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Chicago, UWashington, Cal, UCLA, and Stanford. Anyone else have a kid applying this now?
  14. are you comparing EV in '18 with final vote in '16?
  15. I understand but what is important to look at is how far has the Rep EV advantage fallen? Last I saw it was down approximately 15%. If Dems have erased 15% (+23% to +8%) of the Reps advantage in EV AND are able to keep their advantage on election day, then the numbers look really good for Beto. We just don't know if that will happen at this point.
  16. I understand what you are saying and I appreciate your efforts. I was just pointing out that if everything holds as it did last election, then Beto loses. Things have to change for Beto to win. That could be more Dems voting than Reps or Independents going heavily for Beto or new voters going for Beto or moderates going for Beto or a percentage of Reps going for Beto. Some or all of those things have to happen for Beto to win. Personally, I think all of them will go in Beto's favor to varying degrees and he will pull out a win +3 points. I have never seen enthusiasm for a candidate like Beto in Texas. I live in Bee Cave and thought I was the only Democrat until now.
  17. well, of course, if everyone votes in the exact same percentages as Trump/Hillary, Cruz will win by the same percentage that Trump did.
  18. we haven't had a landline for 15 years.
  19. Bottom line, we are going to get the country we deserve this election. There is no unknown. There is no both sides suck. There is either a rejection of Trump or an acceptance of what he stands for. We either make the correction to the path we are currently on or we speed it up considerably. No claims of ignorance this time. No claims of Gary Johnson. I believe we will do the right thing and correct this but I have to admit I am concerned. If you are a conservative, why would you vote for Trump? You already have your tax cut, your Supreme Court Justices, and massive deregulation. If you vote against Trump, Congress will be able to put him in check and stop the madness and any further damage to our country but will be unable to roll back any of the above conservative achievements.
  20. Aaron Burr, Sir.
  21. I dont understand. Why cant Trumpkins just admit he is wrong. That all of his stupid hate mongering is wrong. Bush didn't do it. Bush Sr. didnt either. Neither did Reagan. Heck, I dont think Nixon did it either. And so on for the history of the Republic. So why can't Trumplicans just say "this is wrong. he needs to stop. he is partially to blame and it is unacceptable, reckless, and irresponsible for a US President to do this." no whataboutisms. no russian chaos tactics. no both sides. no but anything. just accept that your guy is wrong, call him out on it, require and demand that he stop doing it, and we as a nation can all move forward. its really that simple. why cant y'all just do that for the sake of Country?
  22. you meant :White, straight, Christian, American male in the top 1% income bracket.
  23. yeah something is not right with the way you're looking at it. there is no way Beto is underperforming against any previous metric.
  24. back to 2018 elections and trends: A big bluewave is on the way and looking bigger and bigger each day!
  25. I think what most pro-lifers miss is that most pro-choice people are not pro-abortion. Instead they are in favor of all the things I outlined in my two previous posts.
