| First child, first acceptance!!!! D had been accepted to USF, one of two safeties, although given the budget cuts and frozen enrollment numbers in Florida, it might even be a match now. What a relief. She has an EA reach pending, and will be anxiously awaiting the FSU first decision date of 11/28 (her first choice), and one more match/safety for the first round. There will be no second round if she's in at FSU. |

| First child, ONLY child, second acceptance! D got the letter from Loyola University - Chicago today, one of her safety-matches. She also got some merit money, which is nice.
She actually told me today that she's glad that I nagged her into getting these applications in early. Music to my ears! | |

| Scout, I lived in Loyola's dorms while a student at DePaul many years ago when DePaul faced a huge housing shortage. At that time, Loyola had great dorms but horrible food; the exact opposite of DePaul.
It was a great area to go to college though.
I want my sons to now worship at my feet since I "made" them get their stuff in by early Sept. They still have one more to go each, and are really dragging their feet!
Congrats! | |

| My S2 got accepted to East Carolina University today! He has been pretty low key about the whole process so I was taken by surprise at the look of pure joy on his face when he read the letter. Guess we'll have to set up a visit now. Still waiting on one more in Dec. but boy this feels good. | |

| Congrats, Pack Mom! My son got his acceptance packet from Clemson today into the school of enginering with OOS tuition waiver and some other scholarship money. Very surprised, since they said we wouldn't find out until Feb. 15. It is such a relief to get that first acceptance in. He's waiting until he hears from the other schools he applied to (NCSU, Va. Tech and Duke) before making a decision, but it's definitely nice toget that first acceptance and to see that they really want you to attend! | |

| Congrats to both PackMom and GoHeels!
PackMom, does this mean you have to change your name to PirateMom? | |

| Lol scout59, S1 is a jr. at NCSU (DH an alum). I'm a Pirate and now S2 might land there too. We are a house divided! I guess I could be" Pack-n-Pirates" or "PandPMom"
Congrats GoHeels81 on the Clemson acceptance. All the Clemson people I know are crazy about the place. Good luck on your S's other apps.
S2 is still waiting on Western Carolina acceptance (supposed to be in Dec. but we are hoping earlier) but already received a letter inviting him to join the Honors College (before acceptance) which seemed odd. Oh well ..one in hand is great for now. | |

| PackMom, congrats! I'll try to explain how to add to the list. Use your cursor to "grab and select" the whole list. Highlight the entire list that way. Then press the ctrl key plus the c key (press c while you are still pressing ctrl). That copies the whole list. Then you reply to the thread as usual. Type what you want to say, then press ctrl plus the v key to paste the entire list into your message. At that point, you can insert your son's acceptance in its correct spot. Voila! | |

| Actually, PackMom, I knew your son was at State - I'm a misplaced North Carolinian, myself (and Wake Forest alum, too.) I just like the sound of the name "PirateMom." | |

| hey, fencer's mom - The dorms we saw at DePaul last spring were AMAZING! Some of them were nicer than my daughter's current room...Of course, the room we saw at Loyola was also nice and had a fantastic view of the lake, although the guide warned us that this particular room was an anomoly, view-wise.
My D has already sent in her housing deposit at DePaul (just in case.) | |
