<p>A_Procrast - best of luck to you! I’ve also enjoyed reading your posts throughout the past several months.</p>
<p>A_Procrastinator…aaahhh, that isn’t fair. I wish it was different for you.</p>
<p>I wish all of the parents on here were my parents. My mom doesn’t even know what USC stands for. XD</p>
<p>a-procrastinator and dream…once again I am reminded of how special you both are. You have walked this journey alone. I would bet every parent here would love to adopt you. You both have amazing character.</p>
<p>i live just 40 minutes away from usc but didnt get any mail today</p>
<p>2 people from my class were accepted today as Fall admits</p>
<p>I didn’t bother to ask when it was postmarked/status because I don’t care anymore (haha)</p>
<p>Just to give hope to those still awaiting a response</p>
<p>My friends were from NorCal btw</p>
<p>thank you both SoonEmptyNester and tornados =]</p>
<p>Yeah this whole college process was long and hard (that’s what she said), and I may not have had any help from my parents…but…I had you guys <em>cue music</em>. </p>
<p>We’re all like a little family, us posters here on CC. Heck, we even got a alameMOM, <em>hehe.</em> Lol but yeah, this website was definitely an invaluable resource for me in the college process. It was also the cause of ALOT of unnecessary stress, but only because I allowed it to be. Mostly, it was a sort of non-boring way to spend my oh so boring weeknights.</p>
<p>I’ve had a lot of fun “threading” and posting with everyone here, and I’m gonna miss all you guys. Wow, I really made this sound like a “goodbye” post; totally forgot I was appealing. so i guess I’ll see you guys in the other threads then. haha</p>
<p>@procrastinator - we have several moms.</p>
<p>Hahaha, speaking of parents… oh jesus.</p>
<p>Mom: “Have you heard of this… Randy Pausch?”
Me: “Yes… he’s the reason I applied to Carnegie Mellon. I got waitlisted there. Priority waitlist, so I might still get in!”
Mom: -doesn’t know what waitlist means- “Well I just watched his Last Lecture on youtube… it was good.”
Me: “…yes, I’ve seen it.” -headdesk-</p>
<p>
:)</p>
<p>(I try to stay positve, but can I confide in you guys that this has been just an awful day? I know you will all be just fine - I just wanted you all to be admitted.)</p>
<p>my bad! I totally forgot about all the moms on here! maybe some dads? Haha. Your identities as moms/pops aren’t as distinguishable as alamemom but my thanks goes out to all! Thank you thank you thank you!</p>
<p>Oh gee whiz! Combine thinking about The Last Lecture with today - I am going to go cry myself to sleep. G’night.</p>
<p>*Yes, I sensibly put “mom” in my screen name. Probably not as sensible to put “lame” in it, but one must be honest.</p>
<p>Aww! ALAMEMOM!!!</p>
<p>I think The Last Lecture is actually pretty appropriate here… all about following your dreams(chools?). Kidding. But for real, we don’t need dream schools to achieve our dreams.</p>
<p>For those of you stating you have uninvolved parents - you are the change in that for the next generation, and for the younger students coming up in your situation. As parents, we are so proud of not only our own kids but of all of you who have worked so hard to involve yourselves in this process. I have seen so many of my children’s friends make other choices along the way and they now have very limited options, if any. Be proud and continue on and learn to your strongest capabilities wherever you attend - we are counting on you as the leaders and researchers of tomorrow!</p>
