We saw the congratulations on Gibson on the 1st (I think) and got the letter today (9th). There may have been some delay due to the hurricane, blackouts, fuel shortages and blizzard (10 inches of snow yesterday!). But it was worth the wait! Good luck everyone...

allisonten - If she searches this forum under DHS, Deans Honor, etc. she will see some threads that talk about past projects. That helps spark some people, others don't want to get those kinds of thoughts in their heads. Just depends. Here is one she should read though. DHS Project (post #5 on this one is especially informative)

Otherwise for some people it helps to just put it out of their mind for a day or two, go someplace quiet to just relax, feed ducks or something, and often a great idea comes to them. She will figure it out I am sure.

yay Rydert! good 4 U!

I'm so glad that everyone is enjoying this thread. I just looked back and saw that I started it only 19 days ago and we are up to 401 posts! What a great supportive, fun group of parents and students.

I hope that everyone will continue checking in and that everyone will come back in a few months to update us on which school they choose. Let's see how many choose Tulane!!

Re the question about whether the ad reps make the decisions... I asked our HS GC and she said they do, unless there is an app they feel needs to be escalated to a higher power in the admissions office.

Has anyone been accepted from Washington, DC, Maryland or Virginia?
