<p>Quick updates. :)</p>
<p>Ashleigh has applied early decision to Bryn Mawr. We are waiting patiently, I guess a few more weeks to go before she hears. </p>
<p>@Confidential2014, yeah, if you guys get into the same school it would be nice to get to know someone before the start of the school year. Keep me posted, I’ll update here too. :)</p>
<p>Thank you kindly for you input and well wishes Bob.</p>
<p>She received her acceptance notification from Byrn Mawr this afternoon. Now that the search, visits and application are over, and she is where she wanted to be, I have a chance to reflect some. Thanks to everyone here for your advice, and kind words of encouragement.</p>
<p>I will say this, as this is my first time going through it, I was all caught up in it. Just as nervous and excited as she was. Once we found out and celebrated together (which will continue for a few weeks I believe), the reality of what we had been doing for the last 15 years hit. Everything I wanted her to become academically, with the hope of getting into a quality college has come to pass, and what this means is my little girl will soon be leaving me. While I am overjoyed with her success, I find I am saddened it is her time to leave the nest. </p>
<p>God Bless all those parents past, present and future who have or will experience what I am feeling now. To ours kids!</p>
<p>I’ll be going to Bryn Mawr next year and all I can say is that it is a FANTASTIC school. I went there on an overnight visit a couple weeks ago and everyone there is just SO nice and friendly and passionate about what they do!</p>
<p>Good luck wherever you end up! :)</p>
<p>Best of luck to your daughter OP! Bryn Mawr is an excellent college :)</p>
