My nephew was just accepted to Vassar with a full ride through the Questbridge program. What makes it sweeter is that this is a kid that, up until August, was planning on community college because of finances. I suggested that he look into Questbridge and we were stunned when he got the gold ring! It was a grueling process but his persistence paid off! I couldn't be happier if it was my own child!

Such great news all around!! Goes to show it doesn't necessarily matter, in the long run, if you go to tri-cities HS in a rural county, a big public HS or a prestigious private HS. There are great college opportunities for great kids out there!! Congrats again to all!!!!!

Wow, that's amazing, GA2012MOM! Is that her first choice or might she be going to someplace in Georgia? (based on your screenname )

Amusingly, my daughter is planning to go to SCAD in Georgia -- she just finished the application, so I hope to post good news here in a few weeks.

Congratulations to all - what wonderful news and terrific accomplishments from a bunch of great kids!

Adding mine - my d found out yesterday that she's been accepted ED at William & Mary. Huge amount of joy here - it's been her dream school since 8th grade. She's our youngest, so - dare I say it? - we are done.
