Congrats LINYmom and LINY_S! Wonderful news! And congrats on the scholarship! Looking forward to hearing good news from the "other" FL school for your S.
Our fingers are crossed!

Did anyone notice that we are nearly at page 1000!! We should be proud.

Thank you! I did share the news with my parents. Just got an email back from my mom asking if that scholarship was good for every school. I WISH! (She is rooting for the 'Canes, too.)

Loving the relatively affordable safety with that nice scholarship too. The cost of attendance with the scholarship approximates an in state school.

Congrats to Linymom and son!

DS has been accepted to Pitt and Alabama (got the scholarship letter yesterday from Bama). DS and husband will be visiting Alabama in two weeks, fingers crossed they like it. I mailed 8 HS transcripts yesterday, I was surprised to have 2 acceptances before transcripts where sent - test scores are better then grades. He is another NMSF with not great rank.

DS has no favorite school, so I feel like we are missing "the perfect school". I should be happy he is leaving his options open. He still has to finish the UMCP application, but has submitted 6 others. One more definite application for after Nov.1 and two maybes and then it's on to scholarship and honors college apps. UMBC came off the list after a visit last fall and has vaulted to the top again after a rep visited his AP econ class and sold him on a public policy honors program. We re-visited and he wanted to know who planted the 100's of trees since his last visit.

My cousin went to Penn undergrad and then Emory for her PhD and said Emory was every bit as welcoming as Penn had been.
