<p>My D was just accepted at the only school she applied to – her one & only college app ever! </p>
<p>We’re thrilled for her as she’s overcome daunting challenges due to significant chronic helath issues. The school options she’s had in our state have not included much in the way of a campus life (our state system is largely commuter). I’m sure she will thrive at her chosen campus.</p>
<p>Now, hubby & I will just have to work forever, but that was always part of the plan. <grin></grin></p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Thanks–she’ll be entering as a 2nd semester sophomore, so she’s saved us some $ & also gotten some basic requirements out of the way (which is all to the good & should save us a little). We all think the school will be a good fit for her & hopefully she’ll get a lot out of it. Several of her best friends & her brother will be there.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, she didn’t apply for (or receive) any scholarships & it’s a VERY expensive school.</p>
<p>Well, there’s still plenty of time to apply to more schools, and how much fun it will be to do so from the comfortable perch of already having one in the bag!!! :)</p>
<p>Well that’s great news. Congratulations and thank you for letting us know!</p>
<p>Congrats to her!</p>
<p>My son also only applied to one university for undergraduate school and one university for graduate school and lucky for him (not so much for me, as I didn’t want him getting in either time particularly, but that’s another story), was accepted his first try to both universities.</p>
<p>I have been glad not to have to deal with all the college application concerns so many parents today worry about, and it’s such a change in the times it seems to me as I don’t recall ANY of my friends’ parents being involved in our college applications (and my friends went to good schools - Harvard, Smith, Brandeis, Yale, etc.) but it seems the large majority of educated parents of today (and my friends’ parents and my parents were well-educated - mathematician, physicist, patent attorney, trial attorney, etc.) are just as involved in the child’s application as the applicant.</p>
<p>HImom- did your D just get accepted to USC? You mentioned she’d be attending with her brother, and I thought I remembered you from the Trojan site. If not, I apologize, and hope she’ll love her new school. How exciting for her.</p>
<p>If it is USC, congratulations also! Our D finished her sophomore year there and still loves it. </p>
<p>Whatever school it is, you sound so happy, and that’s always a great thing. Good luck to her, and enjoy the anticipation until the spring semester starts !</p>
<p>Hi, Hayden! Yes, she did just get into USC. Last night she asked very quietly if we could really afford for her to go & we said, “Of course, we’ll make things work out.” She’s overjoyed!
Yes, S has finished his 1st 2 years there, where he’s been very happy. That was the only school she applied to & yes, she just received her acceptance on Monday. They want her commitment by Friday, 8/1!
I’m sure it will be a great fit & nice for them to be attending the same school for a while.</p>
<p>HImom:</p>
<p>Congratulations!!! My daughter will be entering as a freshman in spring. When I read the thread yesterday I sort of thought SC, but wasn’t sure. </p>
<p>BTW, we just returned from our annual trip to Maui…what a paradise you live in! (I have been to all the islands except Molokai, Lanai, and of course Niihau)</p>
<p>Himom- congratulations. I am glad things have worked out for her.</p>
<p>Fight on!!</p>
<p>Big congrats, HImom. What a great accomplishment for your D. You certainly are a completely Trojan family now. My S will be a freshman at SC this year so it’s great to read that your S is happy there.</p>
<p>We were all pretty surprised that they accepted D, since she had a very “rocky” 2nd semester, with “mono” necessitating a withdrawal, one bad grade & one incomplete, but I guess they are confident she will be an asset and buckle down this semester to do the work we all know she’s capable of. I am very pleased at how well USC has worked out for S–his health has even improved there. He is now talking about grad school…oh, oh!</p>
