SP or academic? If the same for each both are realy similar so I'd base it on commute or other things in terms of convenience.

Those are the things I'd be basing it in on between those particular two schools. [ Reply | More

I work for a plastic surgeon so I'm familiar with Thermage and Ulthera, and actually tried Ulthera. It didn't do anything for me (although I really didn't need it) and it was really painful. We're not offering it any longer, it wasn't effective. Thermage is really good though for sagging skin and it's been improved recently so that it's not painful. [ Reply | More

apply broadly; play dates are most important. don't schedule 2 play dates in one day. make sure your dc is well rested, fed, and happy on play date. prep for ERB; don't listen to people who say they didn't prep. Your kid must get at least 95+ to be in the game. I still think play date is most important. but if he/she doesn't meet ERB cut off, he's out of the game. GL! [ Reply | More
