Oregonianmom:

Yes, my friend emailed them and they told her that if she was accepted, she would find out in 2-3 weeks.

Congrats HisGrace

Congratulations to HisGrace -- I went to SF State, back in the dark ages -- bet it's changed a lot since then.

D2 just found out that she has been admitted to her first choice school today!! It was pretty much a "given" , but until she read the words there was still some uneasiness. She is so happy now and can start planning for her next four years.
Now I can't wait until April when scholarship decisions are announced - LOL
(fingers crossed - she's going anyway but I would love to have a scholarship ease the burden a little!)

Funny you should ask oregonianmom-
University of Oregon!

She has always wanted to live in the Pacific Northwest and after a trip for college visits, she fell in love with Eugene and the UofO. I will enjoy visiting her.

Good choice! But don't let my dad hear that - he's a Beaver through and through. For that reason, in order to keep peace in the family, U of O wasn't really an option for my son, even though they have a good journalism program
Besides, S wants to do like your D and go clear across the country for college. We'll help keep the airlines in business!

LOL - My daughter also liked OSU a lot, but she preferred the art department at Uof O.
We have wonderful schools right here in PA, but both of my kids chose to leave the state and explore - oh, well. It does make it fun to visit and my husband loved seeing Prefontaine's stomping grounds.
Good luck to your son!

Yes, but tied with USNA. I think his 3rd, Notre Dame, has dropped far far off the radar after we went to the local program on it Wed. night. Both Twin1 and Twin2 were put off.

So, Twin2 is very pleased with this AFA LOA, craving one from the USNA too.

Twin1 is kind of floundering right now because Notre Dame was his first choice. He has USCGA on his radar though... we'll see.

The one boy from my son's class that I know who went to Notre Dame loves it, for what that's worth.
