donations accepted

So many people have asked about Dave's interview progress. It's so nice that people care and are interested... or maybe you just act like you care and are interested. Either way, here's an update for ya'll. So far, Dave has been invited to a BUNCH of interviews. He has accepted most invites and has rejected a few. "Why would he apply to a program then not accept an interview invite?" you may ask... Answer: time and money. The process only lasts a couple months and he can't fit 25+ trips in that amount of time. It's all about prioritizing at this point.
Okay, so the list to-date is:
*U of Michigan
*U of Iowa
*U of Alabama
*U of New Mexico
*Dartmouth
*Mayo Clinic (Minnesota)
*U of U ... we have a chance at staying!
*Georgetown
*Cornell
*Penn State
*Yale
*U of Rochester
*U of Kentucky
*U of Virginia
*Ohio State U
*U of Arizona
*Washington U
So it goes without saying that it is definitely a COSTLY time for us. Flights, hotels (actually, a lot of the schools put you up which is soooo great) and car rentals= Empty Bank Account. Owell. It's all part of it. But we won't turn away donations. jk!
I'll continue to keep you posted...

Nothing in So Cal? Hmmm...well looks like you have a lot to chose from. Good Luck!

My vote is for G-town, Yale, or Dartmouth. G-town cuz of Dave's history with their ball-club and if Dave goes to Yale or Dartmouth, he might just be the baddest-ass of all bad-asses.

Attending either of those schools would require blogs about sweet ivy league shenanigans.

Good luck Reul, and Godspeed.

I'm with Katrina when I say "nothing in So Cal?!?!" How's that possible? I could definitely see you being an east-coaster! Good luck with the lengthy process!

Wow, that is exciting that he gets to interview at so many places! We love you as neighbors so I hope you guys stay at the U of U!

We will honestly try to come visit you anywhere, but we love AZ. I am so proud of all your hard work. You have some great schools that would be lucky to get you. If you guys need help with the kids while you are checking out schools, we are happy to take them for a few days. I am being completely serious too. It would be a crazy boy madness party upstairs with Mike and Addi, Summy and I can just chill downstairs.
