...told US News and World Report. We encourage Harvard to reconsider its decision to accept score choice and recommend that other schools do the same. After all, the point of the college admissions process is to get a full picture of an applicant, not to convert them into a hyper-stressed seventeen year-old. Policies like Score Choice run counter to that goal...
...ensuing weeks saw skirmishes between the two countries as the disputed territory of Kashmir came front and center in the battle to prevent militants from infiltrating the now hyper-vigilant India. Qureshi's response was sympathetic to an India eager to see justice brought to the attacks' perpetrators, but came with a no-nonsense warning: "We do not want to impose war, but we are fully prepared in case war is imposed on us."

Doomsaying beatnik Ian Malcolm (Mason Ross) punctuated pauses by jiggling his head and muttering inaudibly. Lex (April Camlin), the hyper-annoying computer nerd, carried her character’s emotional outbursts to the limits of human expression. Robert Muldoon (Connor Kizer) played every scene with a Sean Connery-ish accent and an insane excitement at the prospect of death. And of course Samuel L. Jackson’s character?...
