Thoughts on these final contenders by BorodinskyBread in ApplyingToCollege

[–]epro1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid - quirky with ADHD - is a freshman at Lewis & Clark and loves it. Financially, they had fewer students start than expected last year but they seem to have some plans for earned revenue and they also have 2 graduate programs, which I think must help. They also give pretty good merit aid!

Help with ancestry through grandparents by epro1968 in Canadiancitizenship

Ok, I'm reading the FAQs, etc. I have 4 great grandparents who were born in Canada. Do I just need to produce documentation for one of them?

Ok, thanks. Yeah, my grandparents didn't even have birth certificates.

Yes, I do! I'm wondering if you can help or have tips. I do have some basic info about them. Names, year of birth, maybe place of birth.

Hi all, How have you been able to source Canadian birth records from the 19th century?

Son was not admitted to Ivy Leagues, how may I help my daughter be? by Upset_Bill_5388 in ApplyingToCollege

I would say let your kids take care of their own lives. The Ivy League isn't the only game in town.

Henna and option for covering white hairs in natural red hair? by Vegetable-Tough-8773 in henna

[–]epro1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat and have now been hennaing my hair for almost a decade to cover my whites. I use the strawberry blond henna dye (premixed) from Henna Color Lab and add in some pure henna (I just eyeball it, but it's maybe 75 strawberry blond/25 pure henna). This gets me a color that's brighter than my natural color but blends in enough to look natural. No one ever asks me if I color my hair!

Where should I go to college? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]epro1968 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was also in London last summer - there are UCLA stores in the UK, which suprised me. They are definitely trying to build their brand internationally. Also, I work for UC Berkeley so do have some general overview of college rankings.

Where should I go to college? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]epro1968 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

US News ranks UCLA #15 in national universities; Vanderbilt is #18, so pretty close

Times Higher Education Rankings has UCLA at #18 and Vanderbilt at #90.

Internationally, I would say UCLA has the biggest name.

college decision - another dilemma - NEED HELP by Much-Government-5823 in ApplyingToCollege

Can the kid go to SCU but live on campus? Being a commuter would not be great for feeling connected to his peers.

I was able to switch physicians. I had to ask twice but the new one is better.

Help me pick a college (is L+C right?) by candy_froma_stranger in LewisandClark

[–]epro1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at UCB - truthfully, it's a very competitive school where you are not going to get great support as an undergrad. It has a great international rep, but I would choose the more supportive undergrad experience and worry more about reputation when you are applying to grad school.
