Sounds like it was a great event! Roll Tide.



I was surprised at the number of students attending who had already applied, paid their deposit(s), and were almost certain they were going to UA.



When we were there a couple years ago, my D had applied and been accepted, but was a couple weeks away from making her deposits and a few months away from making her decision. However, almost every parent I talked to then had a child who had already been accepted, had put down a deposit and was definitely planning to attend. What surprised me was that while scholarships were a big topic of conversation, most people I spoke with had students who were either full pay or were getting very small scholarships. After reading CC, I thought most OOS kids were going for the scholarships, but this wasn’t the case at all for most families I met at the reception.
