Same! We are all on edge. My normally happy D is a bit off. I know we are both stressed. No news
has been good news but now expecting it all. Preparing for the worst but hoping for that one yes. Can’t help but
think how much easier this would have been if D didn’t want to be an MT major!!!
:)) How about for when we think we didn’t get in anywhere…Don’t put the horse before the cart? Or We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it… I don’t know any others offhand!
@singoutlouise So sorry about the stomach bug! That is the worst!
@LBSMOM Things a little tense here too. Doesn’t help that Pre-Calc is kicking her butt and she came home in tears. So much stress for kids. I don’t remember being this stressed when I was her age! Just a typical mouthy girl thinking the world was my oyster! I told her today 3 mos. from now none of this will matter. I got the eye roll and the I KNOW MOM! Oh well. This too shall pass and little does she know she will be happy!
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That which we survive, makes us stronger. This, too, shall pass. Someday you’ll look back at this and say, "Remember when I was SO tressed about my MT acceptances? There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Que sera, sera - whatever will be, will be. No use cryin’ over spilt milk.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
We did the best we could. It’s out of our hands.
Congratulation to all the acceptances and Wait Lists, too!
Seems like there are so many ways that schools notify kids - phone calls, emails, Twitter, portal updates . . . I’d be happy with smoke signals! But seriously, is there a list somewhere of HOW each school does notifications?
@mom4bwayboy you just made me tear up a little. The Serenity Prayer is one of my favorites.
@momtojoss and @mom4bwayboy , me too with the tears for that prayer.
Congrats to all for acceptances. Ms D. is busy doing local scholarship applications so that is keeping her busy. There are 3 this week due and at least one a week due thru March. Keeping her mind off things. That is just like college apps and auditions and waiting to see if you are picked later!
You all are making me tear up! What a lovely group of people this is. Wishing everyone the BEST.
@ALSO80 keeping good thoughts for you guys. This is hard to go through
I’m in a completely different boat than everyone else. I still have 3 schools to hear from but I received an acceptance to Rider and I’m really excited about it. Except I haven’t gotten any financial aid info yet and in my portal it say my estimated cost of attendance is $59,775… Now I would love to go to this school but I know I can’t afford it.
@lenahcluv Congrats on the Rider - Yes! But I understand the financial aspect too. Hopefully you’ll hear a yes from a more affordable program. BAL!
@lenahcluv or that Rider sends you a better financial aid package. Have you and your parent/s submitted all your financial docs? Fingers crossed!
To the Person that asked about Syracuse I can tell you that the one thing that makes Syracsue different is they accept a lot of students - they make a fairly large amount of offers like 60 unfortunately the main reason for that is because most students cannot afford it Good luck!
@daughtersdreams Thanks!
@followurheart Yes, all financial aid was sent in and I’ve been applying for scholarships like its my day job. I guess all I can do is wait to see what they offer me and see what other scholarships I can get
@cornymama Yes, that’s what my D’s Penn State portal has said for about 4 months! Ugh. Just changed today. You’ll definitely know when it changes. It’s very obvious!
@momadrama waiting on 15! At least you still have 15 chances for a yes!! I don’t know where your D applied but with 15 still in play you have better odds than most! My D has gotten a fair share of redirects along the way & we are only waiting to hear from 5 at this point. You are still in the game at 15 schools until you hear otherwise. Good news is likely just around the corner for you.
I’m pulling for all you guys!! Such a stressful time of year!
May I recommend … wine? A lot of wine …
@KaMaMom I am with you on that! Every night…Cheers everybody!
