    My sense (from 10 years ago when I was applying to college, ha) was that ASU was trying to recruit out-of-state national merit scholars to boast about them and counteract the party image. Doesn't quite seem to be working. (Although I've found that with really big schools you can always find a niche, party reputation or not.) Once upon a time USC was offering guaranteed half tuition to national merit finalists (although I ended up getting full). I don't know if they're still doing that, but even half tuition at USC is a lot of money!

    Also, everyone here talks about the "Colorado paradox", which is that a really high percentage of Colorado residents have college degrees, but very few of those people were born here. Apparently it's the opposite of a brain drain?

          Dang...I really just did give away my secret santa status. And I didn't even think about it. *shame*

            Colorado is so nice with the mountains. Denver is such an active, nice city. No wonder so many people want to live there.

              That's great to hear about Oklahoma having more jobs! When I graduated, there were barely any employers from here recruiting at OU. Maybe we're doing a better job now!

                It wasn't that my dear. You actually said that a long time ago - how you'd love to end up in CO doing my job (basically). But this was back when you were job hunting still (now we pretty much have the same job). I have a freakish memory for detail. lol

                  Wow--I don't even remember that. I guess I had no shot to begin with
