Almd2b:

Wow: Congradulations. I guess even with all of the b/s that gets posted on this site people actually graduate. Can't wait until my son's only question is what he should wear under his cap and gown! Good luck in your residency MD.

So Almd2b,
I guess you have decided to attend. I have decided not to. I have heard mixed reveiws about the quality of the ceremony. I hope I dont regret it, but when i figured the cost of flying to NYC with the family plus room and board there, it just didnt seem worth it. I did get my diploma the other day. It was quite snazzy!!!! anyway, have fun at the ceremony. let us know what it was like.

Yes Gator I'm attending as well as most of my classmates. The plane tickets are already adding up, but i've got room and board covered as my brother lives in NYC.

Ahh....the diploma, green, black, and a bit of gold here and there....at least they've included colour photocopies.

I'll post my review when I return.
