| My Daughter Received Her First Acceptance Today!
Whew! I don't know who is happier, me or her. She received her admission letter today, coincidentally from the first college she visited this summer. She doesn't have to reply until May 1st, so she can wait and see what Financial Aid brings her (we haven't filed the CSS and FAFSA yet), but this is great news--a big event for a high school senior, for sure. I watched her all the way as she opened the envelope, and watched her grin from ear to ear as she read the letter to us.
She applied to nine other schools. She'll hear from another one some time between mid-December and Inauguration Day. The remaining eight won't respond until March 31-April 1st, but this is a big load off her mind to receive her first college admission letter. A truly Happy Thanksgiving is in order for next week!
