I know there was a post for this topic for last year - I guess I'll be the first one to start it for this one!

Twin 1 has got two acceptances in the mail today, both with merit aid.

Franciscan U of Steubenville: $13K merit aid (plus additional need-based to follow)

And, both twins got letters from small local LAC, Washington and Jefferson Col. Twin 1 offered $25K merit aid, Twin 2, offered full tuition plus R&B (about $38K). Both admitted under "Presidential Status," didn't have to pay to apply, no essay; just letters of rec., scores & grades, and documented EC's. Apparently local high school sends grades & scores to local colleges, unsolicited by student, with recommendations to all regional colleges.

Not bad for September.

Class of 2012 Acceptances: Celebrate, discuss, support here

Since the good news is already coming in, we have recreated the Big Thread where parents, students, or delighted observers can come and share their good news, and everyone can rejoice. This is also the place to discuss both happy and disappointing news, and to support each other in the best manner of a community like this one. There are already some acceptances, so congratulations and keep 'em coming.......
