<p>On the heels of DD’s Rice acceptance and merit scholarships, more good news. She got her National Merit Finalist letter (expected), but she also got her Coca-Cola Scholars Finalist letter. Only one downer, Coca-Cola Scholars weekend in Atlanta is the same weekend as Owl Weekend at Rice. She’s really disappointed about missing Owl weekend.</p>
<p>Congratulations to your daughter.</p>
<p>Congrats!
If your daughter hasn’t already been to Rice, I’d recommend that she visit another weekend. If she’s been here before, owl weekend is not at all essential.</p>
<p>We visited her freshman year, but I would like for her to do an overnight during her spring break, a week or two before Owl weekend. We’ll see what works out.</p>
<p>bandit_tx, yes Lindsey is an amazing girl. Congratulations. has she decided on Rice? or she might still want to go to Y or P?</p>
<p>Just waiting to see which ones come through. She is very excited about Rice however, which has surprised me a little.</p>
<p>good luck. the last week was also very good to us. unexpectadley, couple of more options opened up. now we are confident that we will make the right decision for the right reasons.</p>
<p>:::sluggy confetti::: It WAS a good week! 
High-fives and low-fives to you & your D!</p>
<p>Great news indeed. Congrats!</p>
<p>Congratulations! That is wonderful news!</p>
<p>Congrats Bandit! I bet your daughter is thrilled! The coca-cola scholarship weekend sounds fun!</p>
<p>
Simba - that sounds great! If you don’t mind the prying, what else opened up?</p>
<p>anxiousmom: not at all. S got likely admit letters from Duke and Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Wow! congratulations! So many great options!</p>
