NW is a very good school, probably better than quite a few Ivy

schools. I don't think going to NW will prevent LiangLiang
from successful later on.

As 泡泡，Cal is a very good school for Computer students,
especially considering its location.

Silicon Vally's success is based on of the success of Stanford and Cal graduates over those of H and M.

No doubt going to S would be better. But Cal is not worse than going to those other schools on 泡泡's list.

Both of you have great kids, and they are going to very
good college.

Don't stuck in disappointment, go out and celebrate.
