Yes, I would contend that being 260 points below any given school's mean SAT
means the only way you're going is if the med school bears a striking
resemblance to your last name.

Make that hot cocoa, and real examples would wake me a lot more convincingly
than just "that happens a lot."  (In other words, I'm asking for specifics
to contradict what was originally just my off-the-cuff generalization.  We
never said this game was fair...)
