A few questions to SCA students

I think rainmama attended the Seattle reception a few weeks back. My s and I went to the one held in Pasadena, CA two weeks ago and it was very cool. No USC singers at ours, but a great way for the new students to meet other admittees as well as current students and alumni. As mentioned, the SC admissions rep who spoke gave some cool stats about this year’s admitted class. After all the work and worry during the application and the waiting period, these alumni sponsored receptions (and orientation and the first week activities) are all about celebration and accomplishment and pride.

But while our family has been celebrating, I hope that all the students who have been posting to this forum over the past few months, but will not be at USC this fall, are finding their new schools to be equally exciting. In my happiness, I don’t want to ignore that others are facing different outcomes. Some are choosing a different school that fits them better, but others might be adjusting to schools they had not at first thought they’d be attending. You know–I don’t want to be insensitive to all.

Since this is a SCA thread, I am reminded that I know of many kids who did not get the news they had hoped for and they are all (the ones I know personally) amazing kids with so much talent!!
