Many of our CC members already have their college plans in place, but quite a few are still waiting for decisions. On behalf of Dave Berry, Sally Rubenstone, our whole counseling team, our great crew of volunteer mods, and AnthonyG (who keeps our servers running and worked over the weekend to get our big new server online), I want to take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to one and all!

For many of our CC members, this time of year marks the start of an exciting new life chapter, and we're proud to have been a part of the process!

The hardest part of this time is seeing the many rejections and waitlists garnered by even our most qualified members - when colleges reject nine out of ten applicants, most with superb qualifications, though, I guess it's to be expected. Our sympthies for those bits of unhappy news, but there is a bright side: the vast majority of students who don't get into their first-choice school end up so happy at the college they do attend that later, even if given the option of transferring, they prefer to stay where they are.

Best wishes from everyone at CC!
