What a strange Syracuse day...

[cto]

So far today, I have heard from three people here whose children want to go to Syracuse ... and two people who are applying for jobs at the University. All asked for my help.

I love all of you (okay, most of you), but on principle, I do not write letters of recommendation for people I do not know. I got burned doing this a few times... and I have sworn "never again."

If your child is as great as you say she/he is... I am sure she/he will have no problem getting into SU (or getting a scholarship) on her/his own.

Ignore my email.

Indeed. You’ve already have given more than can be expected of anyone.

Any chance we can get you a job as a very part-time substitute teacher at Westtown or IMG?
Asking for some friends.

Crossing Syracuse off my son’s college list now...

Now my son is going to have to go to Cortland. Yuck.

 

[CuseTroop]

I might be sending one of those messages soon as our state/university continues to fall apart.

The only plus side of this situation is that we'll be in a "we'll move to any school that will take us" instead of "let's look for jobs in this location"... this puts NY back on the table (Sonnary really doesn't want to be cold anymore)

Ps-missed you last weekend! Hope to see you again soon!

My daughter is due around Thanksgiving. Do you think there is any chance you might review your recommendation letter policy by 2037?

 

[Hoo's That]

If anyone needed confirmation that you are The Person, this is obviously it.

LOL...typically understated CTO way of saying, "Leave me alone!!!!"

Looks like somebody had an enjoyable Valentine's Day this year.

Np. Just introduce her to CTO in 2036!

You think you have problems?

I got two more private messages from people asking me to stop sending them pictures of my JB Reafsnyder autographed photo collection. At this rate I'm not going to have anyone to send pics to any more.

All three of my kids applied and were accepted to SU. My youngest even got into Newhouse. They all went elsewhere.

Hurt my heart but not my wallet.

They can all still be Orange fans.
