Wonderful news. It is great to find a school that your child will be happy to attend and is also a financially feasible option for your family. It seems as if Vandy is fitting the bill.

No doubt about that, regardless of what finally transpires, I will always be grateful for the opportunity that Vanderbilt has presented to my S. As many of you had predicted, he will have several more options. When he got home today, he saw that he has been accepted to Denison with a very substantial merit scholarship. We are planning to visit Swarthmore this week and he is still waiting to hear from several other well regarded colleges and universities like many here in the CC community. Like several of you and his GC have stated, the hardest part will not getting in to some of the selective schools on his list, but choosing the ONE to attend. I like my DS being in the position of the latter as opposed to the former. With his safeties and one match letting us know where he stands, it's all gravy now. It has really been enjoyable researching and assisting my DS & DD in their college planning. I'm hoping to find some way of sharing my experiences with others in a constructive way in and outside of CC. There are so many people who aren't as savvy or persistant when it comes to college planning, yet you can discern they want better for their children too.
Once again thanks for all the support and encouragement.
