Hosting 150 colleges (and the others that show up) for our annual college fair tonight before taking a few days off. This year has been so uniquely hard, I can't remember the last time I needed a break this much.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.
Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

A worksheet labeled Beyond the Big10 and Ivies: Who Went Where? with the images of 8 celebrities and CEOs and a list of colleges for students to match them with.
Tomorrow's workshop on exploring colleges outside of the Ivy League/ Big-10 is at least in part a round of bar trivia.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Toured a union training facility as part of this trip and at noon they announced our tour had to pause for half an hour for their apprentices to have their contractually guaranteed lunch. A first for a field trip, and honestly a selling point for joining a union (we went back to school).

Does it hurt my application if I donโt give a college a Virtual Star? We donโt think so. We donโt highlight it if you donโt give a Virtual Star, and the Virtual Stars show up at various times throughout the winter/spring. Even apart from the Virtual Stars, we see that our materials themselves tend to improve applicantsโ chances. Remember, admissions officers are looking for multiple things: They are trying to assess your interest, sure, but they are also trying to assess your ability, maturity, โcompellingnessโ, etc. Our materials are optional, and in the minds of many admissions officers, this is by designโthey want to see what you do. We know from some admissions offices that our materials play a large role in merit aid, which is one of the most powerful tools colleges have to get you to matriculate, regardless of where their school might have been on your own personal college list in September.
Regardless, above all else, make sure you use your Virtual Stars!
We need to stop adding things for teens to try to game (and worry about the implications of).

Winter Olympics 2026

Iโm sorry, the shooting/skiing relay has just finished and the I think the commentator said that the woman that crossed the line for gold had been shunned for years by her team mates as she STOLE ONE OF THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND SPENT THEIR MONEY. Come on- thereโs a Netflix in that surely?? Do I need to make the calls myself??
booooouuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Julia Simon was accused last year by her teammate Justine Braisaz Bouchet (and other staff members) of stealing their credit card
During pre-season, there was the trial and Simon confessed
Because of that, she was suspended for the first few races of the biathlon season
Also, another athlete was taken out of the season for tampering with a team mate rifle
So yeah, I can't imagine the atmosphere in the french team right now ๐ฌ
*Runs in *
There is genuine French biathlon drama!

Pre-law day at Northwestern Law โ
primarily struck by how much they talked about how Watergate changed legal training and Iโm curious to see what changes, if any, this era brings. Also, I really thought their tips on how to prep for law school were great suggestions for all college-bound students.
