This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm very positive that my story is correct by irishrock

the guy bled SLU blue (he was an alum)...but now works at Washington U. which I kind of find funny.

He was kind of a jack, imo. But the kids loved him and I don't matter. What bothered me about him was the inflation of everything that just wasn't true. He oversold the school and that was one of the areas I just didn't find him credible. The icing on the cake was the visit we made to the Madrid campus as my daughter had decided on Creighton but was really looking to do a semester to study Spanish at SLU's campus. We walked around, saw the buildings, and her reaction was "that's it...Kyle made it seem like this unbelievably amazing place" (fwiw, Creighton, Loyola, and Regis just didn't play the game like this guy did)

SLU has an amazing med school and med school track. My daughter is a business major at Creighton where 25% of the kids are in the biz school. The SLU biz school has, I want to say (you have the figures), under 10% of the kids in the biz school.

SLU loses to Creighton and Creighton loses to SLU. Both fine schools. they're lucky to have you pushing the truth, that's for sure
