Thanks for the welcome, guys! And Consolation, this:

"I think it is better to vent online than drive our kids crazy, even though reading about other's acceptances and likely letters and so on heightens our own tension to excruciating levels."

is EXACTLY what is going on with me! Ditto jude_36:

"My daughter seems to be weathering the wait quite well, while *I* am a total wreck."

DTDad, I appreciate the advice. It's a little tricky in that Michigan is her absolute last choice (too close to home, too many family ties), they don't really have her intended major (IntRel), and she applied mostly to appease dad & granddad. Still, she was relieved to have an acceptance, in part because she's one of very few at her school who is applying to anything but in-state U's, and her college-bound classmates have known for months where they'll be next year.
