My son decided he wanted to attend my alma mater, Michigan State, and turned down Northwestern and Amherst College, among others. He has wanted to attend MSU since he was in elementary school, and they did a wonderful job of selling us throughout the admissions process. I realize it's his life, his dreams for himself, and ultimately his decision. I also realize that he can get a fantastic education at MSU. Still, when I got a copy of the email from Amherst thanking him for considering them last night I can't say I didn't feel just a bit disappointed.
