| Twin2 got a phone call last night that he was accepted to Robert Morris Univ near our home, Honors Engineering program w/ full tuition. The adcom asked him if he wanted to tour the campus; he's been dually enrolled there for a year! Still that was nice to hear - a super safety. |

| I just posted this in the other acceptance thread, but D is so excited - she got her first acceptance today from DePaul (College of Commerce), with significant merit money. DePaul is her safety but also her first choice, so she is giddy with relief and excitement.
She called all her friends and screamed "I'm going to college! Somebody wants me!" | |

LOL. My D had the exact same reaction when that first acceptance with automatic merit money attached to it came to the ranch. No matter how high they are up the food-chain, that first doable one always looks so nice. Congrats. | |

| He's 2 for 2! Today it was Ohio University; the next step there will be a portfolio and interview early next year for the School of Visual Communication in the Scripps College of Communication. After these two rolling admissions successes, the long wait begins until January for one school and March/April for three others. But he feels great to have these early yeses. | |

| Congrats to Scoutdaughter. My daughter also loves her safety and first acceptance. She is so convinced that she loves Queens that she may not send in any other applications. Plus the merit money is great. My son only applied to one school, ED to Duke, so I guess my kids know what they like. We sure saved alot in application fees. | |

| Thanks to Curm (ooh - I got a reply from the Master!), candace, and oregonian!
I guess I didn't realize how stressed/nervous my daughter really was - she's a real laid-back, glass-is-half-full kind of kid. I think that in her head she knew she'd get in, but it's still great when somebody loves you!
I know what you mean, Candace, about "no more applications." My D is supposed to finish her apps this weekend, including one to Northeastern (her second-favorite school.) She promised me last night that she really would finish but that remains to be seen. For now, though, I'll let her float a little longer before the nagging begins again. | |

| Congrats to all on their acceptances. Even if it's to safeties (even if!), it is so great to see how excited the kids get and for us as parents to know that they'll be ok - if *WE* just quit stressing.
Kudos to all the kids! Parents - start your wallets! | |
