<p>Our D is accepting the offer! She’s very excited–it’s an amazing opportunity. And just to clarify- and for the future CCers trying to figure all of this crazy waitlist stuff out…
~She did not send an update (even though she had things she could have told them–she just thought it was such a long shot, and was pretty burnt out on the college process)
~She got TERRIFIC financial aid–almost a full ride
~She was phoned on Wednesday the 21st, late morning, first at home, but when no answer at home they called the school
~She was given one week to decide–she had to click the “accept” button by 1 pm Wednesday the 28th
~According to the admissions officer who called her, she was the first to be called (at least from that person’s list)
~They mailed a nice “Dear Prospective Princeton student” pack to follow up the phone call (with info geared to admitted students)</p>
<p>Oh, and last but not least, she WAS one of the people who got the infamous “Missing Financial Aid Application” email!</p>
<p>What a wild ride it has been! We’re elated, and so very proud of all her work!</p>
