The Unemployment Chronicles, Day 5: Interlude

And now for something completely different.

Lucas has over 180 emails from colleges, although many are repeats, plus he has a box full of snail mail.  I don't remember anything like this kind of feeding frenzy when I was in high school.  Maybe it was me.  Yeah, actually, that could be it.  Some of these colleges (Stanford, Princeton, Cornell) are offering summer programs for high schoolers rather than asking Lucas to apply, but in any case, these colleges have contacted him:
