First Acceptance!

It's been fun reading about everyone's acceptances. Finally, my son heard from his first acceptance: Baylor! This is my last child to go through the process and you think it would get easier and it does in many ways. But the waiting to hear never gets easier. Also, too bad the kids aren't exactly the same Then maybe I would have something figured out! One thing that doesn't change is the excitement from hearing from the first school acceptance. Congrats to all!

It has been 4 years since I posted, back when my son was going through the process. Now the time is close for him to finish at UNC-CH and looking at Law Schools. But this is about my D - the youngest and last of the bunch. She was accepted First Choice into UNC-W and is patiently waiting for the other 3 schools to decide. Whatever the outcome, we are very proud of her. Congrats to all the Ps out there. Another chapter read.

My son received notification yesterday that he was awarded and NROTC scholarship for University of Pittsburgh with placement at the Carnegie Mellon NROTC unit. He is so excited. Still waiting on nominations for US Naval Academy as this is his first choice. He is so excited - NROTC may be his final choice!

Nrotc

wghartz:

If you haven't found this website yet, go to ROTC - United States of America Service Academy Forums

It is a great resource to ask questions and read about other Academy and ROTC candidates journeys. Everyone there would love to hear about your son!

congratulations!

YAY, oldfort! I'm sure she'll be as happy and successful there as your d1 was. Great news and, of course, great school - congrats to all of you!

Accepted to the Cornell College of Engineering! Extremely excited. Only bad thing is that I'm awaiting the financial aid package. There is a good-somewhat good chance I won't be able to go because of finances.

first time on this forum

this is my first time on this forum, so hoping for some answers. Does anyone know Chapman University admission stats? My D applied for EA and is an Education major. The school seems very focused on the Arts, but i hear it's also a good school for Education and it's her first choice.

Also, does anyone know if Univ of Oregon is a WUE school for the Education Major?

thanks!

@wgharz - I'll second Service Academy Forums since I'm an active member of that site - great for SA and ROTC information. I have a son at USAFA (2014) and another son who was accepted to USNA (his first choice) and USAFA last year, but ultimately decided on doing NROTC at MIT after his acceptance there. (And is loving it incidentally!). Was your son accepted at CM or is he planning on attending Pitt? My son was waitlisted at CM after his acceptance at MIT, which seemed strange to us! DH and I are both West Point grads (GO ARMY this afternoon!!) so we have the whole spectrum right now!

But I guess I'm here on the 2016 results boards so posting that son #3 received his first acceptance to Purdue yesterday, which is definitely his Plan B. Waiting on MIT (his first choice by far) and Caltech EA this coming week, along with Michigan (which I think will be cost prohibitive!), then on Stanford and Cornell RD (Stanford is a top choice; Cornell not so much). Also waiting on scholarship info from Purdue so lots going on in the next few weeks! Good luck to everyone!

ಥ_ಥ First rejection from Case Western... Eh, I feel rather indifferent. It doesn't hurt to be rejected ironically...
