On Boalt, did you go to Cal UG? NIce to see a person dedicated to young people and social justice in that school!!!

LoL
Monday, December 19 2005 at 07:00 PM

I see PAC 10 I think cal for whatever reason. Your school is cooler anyways--13% African Americans is way more then Cal's less then 2%...so sad. I am glad that there is one more brown face in the Bears Liar! Where would be your first choice?

Congrats on Boalt

We have similar numbers so that gives me some hope although you went to a much better undergrad. Boalt is pretty much my number one at this point.
