    I can't get my D to complete apps either. She talks about it a lot but doesn't seem to want to deal with it. Hoping since school has started that will change.

    Congratulations on all the acceptances so far. My son doesn't even have to write any essays and I still had to give him the, "No going anywhere this weekend until you submit one application." It worked.

    Are any of your kids actually considering U Alabama as something more than a financial safety? Not bashing it b/c it's something a lot of us need but just wondering whether your kids feel anything about the school.

    russgenious - UA is my son's first choice, and he has the stats and record to be competitive for admission to any school in the country (NMSF, 2330 SAT, 35 ACT, 4.8 GPA, varsity tennis all 4 yrs, captain of chess team, etc. etc.). I think many people discover UA as a result of their generous guaranteed scholarships, but then after visiting and learning more about the school, many kids, my son included, fall in love and can't see themselves anywhere else. If you want more info on UA you should visit the UA forum on this site, it is a wealth of information.

    @russgenious

    My son was one of those who only looked at Bama for the scholarship money. After a great visit with both the honors college and dean of engineering, the school is no longer considered his last resort. He was very impressed with Bama.

    Unlike Lisa's son, it didn't become son's dream school, but the visit drastically changed his attitude. His list shifted quite a bit and he added high reach schools and discarded match schools.

    Of all things learned here on CC, info on Bama's honor's college has been the best information for our family.

    Thanks lisa6191 and Longhaul. ;)

    Did your kids consider UAB and UAH? I don't really know the differences too well; I think UAB is mostly instate students and is a commuter campus?

    Something to think about in terms of the University of Alabama. They give out a lot of scholarship money but sometimes other schools in the country have lower OOS tuition and have generous scholarships for out of state students. For example, Grand Valley State University in Michigan has an out of state tuition rate of $14,568 per year. It has been ranked as one of best public regional universities in the Midwest and and "Up and Coming school" in the Midwest. The in state tuition rate is $10,078 per year. Also, if you have a 3.5 GPA and 26 ACT and are an OOS student then GVSU will give you in state tuition plus $1500. That would bring the tuition down to $8578 a year for an out of state student, which is lower than most states in state tuition. That scholarship is a lot more generous than Alabama's $1500 a year with an out of state tuition of roughly $23,000 a year at Alabama.

    russgenious - S did not consider UAB or UAH, he wanted more of a traditional school environment. He really thought the honors college at UA would give him the best of both worlds - a smaller, more personalized and challenging experience, but access to the resources and school spirit of a large state flagship. I believe the scholarships are slightly more generous at UAB and UAH though.

    There is a thread on the UA board right now discussing the differences between UA and UAB. I'm not sure how to link it but it is on the first page of UA's forum.

    My dd received her first acceptance phone call today and they said the letter would be forthcoming. Nothing prepared me for how proud I felt today.

    She was accepted into Anderson University, a private liberal arts college. It's not her #1 choice but it's a good one and I am so happy to have one acceptance!
