I haven't finished reading it yet (284/676 pages), but before I forget, on page 284:
Professor Starling smiled. "I assign it every year, but I'm not sure how many actually go to the trouble, although it's well worth it. What's your background in biology?
[Charlotte says] "I went as far as molecular biology. My high school didn't have that, so they sent me over to Appalachian State twice a week."
"Appalachian State Univeristy? You're from North Carolina?"
"Yes, sir."
"What year are you"
"I'm a freshman."
He nodded several times, as if pondering that. "You took the A.P."
"Yes, sir."
He did some more nodding. ...
What's he nodding about? I bet he's thinking: why didn't she stay at AppState, the DuPont of the South, for a fraction of the cost of DuPont U (I'm 99% sure that Pennsylvania's DuPont U is modeled after North Carolina's Duke U. Duh, right? I should really read the book reviews before I read the books cold).
And if you are wondering, and I know you are, in college I was a linear combo of JoJo (37%), Adam (35%), and Hoyt (28%). Weird.
