Glad I didn't have coffee in my mouth when I got to your post squerly. too funny!!!!
nice list of schools for sure. Great that you are in a position to offer Melen those to choose from. 
Harvard sure has the status, but I would have loved to go to Boston College. Is Mel considering any of the west coast schools?
How much credence do you put into the rankings? How and who comes up with the rankings?
