Not for me, of course. I'm just waiting for Tony to call so I can use up the eligibility I've been saving. As a graduate transfer, I can play right away. So far Eaves and Sauer let me down on that front.
The little McBadgerton is a little genius though (obviously takes after her mother) and while UW is somewhere on the list, so are a bunch of fancy and ridiculously expensive East Coast schools. blech.
Visited U of Florida which is, I guess, a top 10 ranked public U. The campus is fantastic and I was much more impressed than I ever thought I'd be. Plus The Swamp is pretty cool. Florida has Bright Futures scholarships that provides every student with a 3.5 GPA (little McB has a 5 point something... how the hell can that even be? These new fangled grades are weird.) that does moderately well on SAT/ACT and performs 100 hours of community service, all tuition and fees plus book allowance at any of 40 in-state Florida public schools, Colleges and Universities paid for 4 years with no regard to financial status.
So --- $75k+ going to school with Chad and Muffy, which, let's face it, there are definite advantages to; $50k for UW, the greatest school in the world; or just pay living expenses at a fine AAU member public University that I can drive to. I know what my pocketbook says... but we'll just have to wait and consider what the little McBadgerton says, too. Or so I'm told... I'm not too sure... The little McB once said she might like Florida State because the campus is "pretty". I'm like "That's where all the Florida rejects go! Get with the program!"
There is NO choice to be made, correct?![]()

For mine there is. She's only 13, but she wants to go to Madison. She won't be going there for 50k per year for out of state tuition though. Forget that...
