| I'm big on Kenyon. Just have really liked the Kenyon grads I've met and seen so many really fabulous kids go there and do terrific things in life. I see it as a great school for D2 and plan to take her to visit this summer.
Regarding scholarships -
Actual hard money offer finally from U Mich - 20K/yr for four years which is indeed generous but would still have us paying $20k per year for D to attend as an out of state.
Also, notified today that D is a finalist for Emory Scholars. So impressed that they pay airfare to come to the interview. But she will just drive over. Very near us. |

| D's just received an acceptance to Brandeis w/4-yr full ride MLK scholarship offer. We couldn't be more thrilled! D had a decent SAT (2040), 4.6 weighted GPA, all Honors/AP classes. Significant EC's w/tons of leadership, community service, work experience, significant national, state & local awards, and publication.
Congrats to all other posters as well! | |
