Barring a major catastrophe like another economic crash or a regional war,

Continuing low interest rates
Low bank loan interest rates make it easier to buy a home. The home loan
rates are hovering in the 1 to 2 percent range. Those rates were unheard of

直升机可以自己保持尾巴方向。

那种 Mall 飞机就是骗人钱的。有个好处是小孩不知道专业和非专业的区别，

竞争激烈，压力大，但是效果不一定好。比如：
1）UC Berkeley 全校平均新生的SAT成绩低于2000.但是从Palo Alto High去的学生平
均成绩是2180. 换句话说一个学生同样的成绩在其它学区能去伯克利的，但是在Palo
Alto就不一定行了。这就像以前在北京能考上大学的分数在山东连大专都没戏。
2）前两年哈佛共录取了三个。并不多。
3）斯坦福录取的，除了“non-legacy and non-affiliated students”,也就是 a
handful。所谓Legacy就是校友和捐钱的大户，Affliated 就是教授子女。
4）好学生太多，老师给GPA太严。AP Test考5分的GPA可能还是D。成绩单拿出去难看。
老师给学生写的推荐信也很不给力。同样的学生在其它学校成绩单好看多了。老师推荐
信也更好。
