Congrats to all. It's been a good couple of days! Cornmuffin, how great for the saga to end for both twins on the say day!
Marathon D is in at Northeastern. One of her friends, for whom NEU was a first choice, was deferred, so the thrill of the first acceptance was tempered a little by his disappointment.

My son just became....
A REEDIE, Class of 2012!
He loved Reed from the moment he stepped foot on campus and never wavered in his devotion. I am so happy for him!

S got accepted to Georgetown- early action. What a relief! Hopefully this will help my anxiety and insomnia a bit. Congratulations to all acceptances and for all those deferred or denied, please do not give up. Everything eventually falls into place.

Mamabear,
I am very sorry that your daughter got deferred - does she have some safety schools on her list, in addition to tough schools?
Hang in there - I truly believe that things will work out as they should.

Carolyn: Congratulations! It's hard for me to believe that your son is even old enough to have applied to college! (I feel like I've "known" your family for so long.)
Adigal: Welcome to the Vassar family!
To those with deferrals or rejections: Hang in there. It really does work out in the end.

D deferred from her first choice Georgetown, very disappointed but handling it well, am really proud of her. It helped that all but one ("mom, she's freaky smart") of the 7 or so who applied to Georgetown from her very competitive HS also got deferred. Since her twin (S) is into two schools (UVM and Case Western), think D is wishing she took my advice and did EA somewhere else too, since she's realizing it's just as hard that she's not in anywhere yet as it is that she's not in at Georgetown.
Cornmuffin I laughed when I read your post about being done with the college visits. We have twin A applying to 15 schools, twin B applying to 10 schools. We visited about the same number of schools you did. Didn't have to fight any snowstorms this round of applications, but fought a blizzard trying to get to Vanderbilt and Emory when my oldest---now sophomore at Wash U St. Louis---was applying  Don't think we're done yet, we didn't make it to a couple that were far away and may visit them if relevant twin is accepted.
Also really on the fence about Case Western---loved the campus, think the engineering programs look great. Don't understand why it's yield is so low, and big reservations about some areas of Cleveland. Any input would be really welcome....

I grew up in Cleveland Heights, about 5 minutes from Case... Great school; crappy, cold, slushy, gray weather. In the old days, campus was spread out between the up-the-hill dorms, and the down-below campus. Not a very social place, and not very cohesive and "fun". That was years ago, so things may very well have changed, especially since they have built some new dorms on campus.

I went to Law School there, but never lived in the dorms, again this was long ago. Safety was an issue, especially in the evening. The north part of the campus is adjacent to Hough. It might be better now with more parking and newer dorms. Off campus housing was good. Little Italy was up Euclid and was very safe, walking distance and had great fresh canoli. Cleveland Heights and Shaker Square area had a lot of apartments as well.

Twin B got accepted to Drew today and got a presidential scholarship (merit) for $19,000/year. All he has to do is maintain a 2.0 average!
RE Case Western: My good friend's son is a freshman there and while he loves his classes and his teammates, he says a lot of the kids there aren't on the friendly/bubbly side. He thought Cleveland was gorgeous in the fall - and is now awaiting winter!

| question to the poster that said kid got into uva?
I was wondering how you already knew that? Am I behind the curve or what?
thought they had done away with ed/ea and no one got accepted until this spring?
