Congratulations! I've been following along with the posts & it's been enjoyable to follow. I'm glad you got into such a great school in the end. Nice work! Now just don't let your academics stand in the way of fantasy football. :)

I'm going through the same process with my daughter..certainly not at the same type of schools you are talking about, and she really only considered a couple places..but there are tough choices to make and you sound like you have handled the pressure with great results..Looking at my daughter and knowing how she is, and following this post, it seems to me that the youth of America has their head on straight. Congratulations at the choices you have made in your past that have gotten you to this point in your life..Continue to make great choices, treat people well, and you will have no problems in life...

Thanks guys! Eric, if anything, since I'll be an economics major, I might just bring a new perspective to fantasy football, haha. Joeday, I actually didn't end up applying to Penn but sounds like you had an awesome time at Pitt!

Skulls, thanks! There's definitely a lot of pressure to do well these days because of how competitive everything from getting a job to getting into college is, and I'm glad that I made it through alright so far. Unfortunately, too many kids these days are smoking their life away, but a good chunk of America's youth definitely has their heads on straight.

Seriously, thanks to all of you guys for all the support and to DLF... I'm glad I had dynasty football to relieve the stress on mind sometimes.
