Fate is indeed a cruel mistress and I’m sorry she’s been unfair to you. I have really appreciated what you created with this site and I’m sure you realize it will be a legacy that lasts long after you’ve departed. Best wishes for the next year.
My now junior in college daughter did a summer astronomy camp at Alfred three years ago (she ended up closer to home). It’s a cute campus and seemed to have a nice college town atmosphere. Hopefully the western NY winters will be manageable.
Many colleges in the selective end of the spectrum saw record numbers of applicants this year, some places 25%+ increases from last year. It made the competitive pool much more crowded and added yet another stress factor for those seniors who have in most cases not had a full year of in person school.
The very recent experience of 2020 should be a humbling example to all investors of how hard it is to anticipate risks and rewards, both because of the dramatic size of the stock market plunge in the first quarter, and the unexpected resurgence of the market in the last half of the year (which continues in 2021).
