Very true about Harvard. My nephew is one of the few minority students to get in. It was not hard for him because he is a ridiculously smart kid, and is there on a full academic scholarship which is worth about $150,000 and boy is my brother happy about saving that. He was a no brainer though (1600 SAT, Top math student in PA since 8th grade, etc.). I had a few guys on my semi-pro team that played at Harvard and they all told me the hardest thing to do was to get in but the curriculum is not as intimidating as you might expect. My nephew says that it is challenging but not overwhelming. So competing with Harvard is amazing for Liberty.

good info Scorcho- gotta figure how you imbed those links like that. and in at least one of those ranking systems we were #1 in every category from 95-98 (except 2nd or 3rd in Varisty for a year or so).
who knows what those idiots were referring to. head in the sand complex or something- just cannot give credit where credit is due. WHATEVER

SCAR I'm sure the kid will have his hands full up there- and how tough can it be- way far Left wingers are all free thinkers, no absolutes, all gray areas! You can't get failed out if no one is ever wrong about anything. (as long as he's not conservative! HA)

Sheehan (my nephew) did get his first B his freshman year. He is a conservative Christian himself but he seems to get along with the people at his school.

I plan on working for him someday! Hopefully he will buy a TV studio or something...The funny thing is I should be bragging on my wife's cousin Billy Lawrence on this thread not Sheehan. Billy is one of the all time best Debaters in the history of LU (at least that is what Dr. Falwell tells me). I have never been to a debate but I hear our kids really are tough.
