How did you figure out that we have magic powers? How did you find out that we can snap our fingers and cause you and everyone else in the world to forget a reasonable possibility.
Well, as soon as I snap, you will forget again. You'll even forget this very post and find yourself unable to read it, find it. No search engine will retrieve it to memorialize our statements, anyones. That's what is so great about magic... and that is what we really want to hide. We don't care about slande, its just a front to allow us to cover for our magical powers, which is the only way to accomplish what you fear.

It will take more than you, snapping your fingers, to make anyone in his/her right mind to believe that Maura ran away. "Snap" all you want.

It might make more sense to you Snowy if you were to rev up your computer and take a look at the nursing program curriculum at UMASS....and then take a little peek at the chemical engineering program curriculum at West Point. Process this information. In my opinion the UMASS Program is rigorous and certainly challenging. However, the West Point Chemical Engineering Program is extremely rigorous in my opinion (in anyone's opinion for that matter). It couples academic curriculum w/military training. It is my understanding that Maura's academic performance was well above average at both UMASS and West Point. Compare required math courses in both programs (at ANY college or university). GPA requirement at West Point I believe is a minimum of 3.0; many other places require minimum of 2.5. There are many considerations when an individual enters an academic program. Academically, Maura was performing in the high range. She was an exceptional young woman in many respects.

<quoted text>I don't know. Same old story - too little to work with. I am pretty sure that drop/add was Feb. 10 that year. Last chance to get most of your money back if you withdrew. Did LE check UMass registrar's office records?

Calm down....take a deep breath. Count to ten. Exhale! Again...take a nice, deep breath...hold 'er and count to ten.... Exhale! There now, don't you feel better? Right. If you do not find this calming....get in your shower and scream.... If this does not work for you.....stick your face into a nice, fluffy pillow and scream! There. Feel better now?

Beagle,
Can you identify WHY there is "too little to work with?" You bring up an interesting point.

does*not*matter. as i said before,(and you were probably around then), the rigor of a prestigious institution, and especially in engineering, is course-specific, not well-rounded, as you'd find at a public institution/state school, such as UMASS.
there are credits/requirements that do not transfer and/or must be met.
it is highly unlikely she was able to neatly transfer school-to-school, major-to-major and credit-to-credit without a lapse.
in addition, we've been down this path before...and i do detest redundancy.

Well-rounded as you say is just another way of saying liberal arts (education). What I'm saying Snowy is that math courses for example may have been higher level and therefore she may have received credit for this at UMASS. Today even 2-year colleges offer what is known as math for nurses.... What I'm saying is that the math requirement at West Point is higher. Compare curriculums and you'll be able to see this for yourself. If a person transfers credits for higher level math courses.....they will be allowed credit for this, for example. Don't worry about any lapses.......you have all you can handle just tolerating "redundancy," remember? Have a consult with your "donkey" sense (I believe this is what you called it).....this might help.
