D is now 3 for 3 on her college applications. I'm hoping the trend continues with the final two applications submitted last night to beat the ED deadlines at University of Michigan and Ohio Northern.

S has sent in his first of about 10 apps for ED to Brown. He was really s-l-o-o-o-w-w about it, so I hope he picks up some speed, or he's not gonna finish!!

Congratulations and good luck to all - it's our turn now!

One school, one acceptance: University of Utah!! I couldn't be happier for my sweet, shy, computer nerd girl - they have an entertainment arts and engineering major that's perfect for her! And we fell in love with Salt Lake. So glad this is all over with!! Onward...

Hi Parents:

My d is applying to 13 schools, with Pitt and Barnard being her favorites. As nervous as I am about the acceptances/declines, I'm more worried about the financial aid packages....or lack thereof.

Ahhh!!! Everyone's ahead of me

I'm applying to 15/16 schools.

I applied SCEA to one, rolling to one, and RD to 2 others.

Results?

So what's the deal with the University of Alabama. All of the acceptances are listed individually and not as a unit. Is that some kind of Crimson tide thing?

D admitted to MS&T, FA package received with maxed out merit OOS aid plus an additional Alumni scholarship. Still waiting on Dept (eng) scholarship info, regional alumni assoc scholarship, SWE, and athletics partial, so Dad is REALLY happy about the way costs are lining up.

Talking to coach on a regular basis to ensure she's on the team, so she'll have a built in support system when she hits campus. MST has a great program for keeping the scholar athletes together in the Quad, and focused on education.

A little worried that D is not looking at any other options. I realize she went looking for a FIT, and that's been met, but should we have an option or two, just in case? Or should I just be happy the process is over early?

My daughter was admitted to Ohio State along with 2 other girls in her class. Her best friends status still says evaluation. I feel so bad for her. I think her act and gpa are putting her right on the border and she will probably be deferred. Ugh.
