<p>chocchip - just e-mail the school to withdraw the other applications. If you were dealing with a specific rep - e-mail that person - otherwise just use the general admissions e-mail. Do mention the ED acceptance to another school - that way they know why you are withdrawing and won’t continue to hound you.</p>
<p>[IU</a> Anti-Semitism: IU police issue warrant for anti-Semitic vandalism incident - fox59.com](<a href=“http://www.fox59.com/news/bloomington/wxin-iu-police-issue-warrant-for-an-121410,0,5653441.story]IU”>http://www.fox59.com/news/bloomington/wxin-iu-police-issue-warrant-for-an-121410,0,5653441.story)</p>
<p>"He faces a felony charge of institutional criminal mischief. He is suspected in four other hate crimes involving the desecration of Jewish books at IU’s library as well as the public library. Books were reportedly put in the bathroom with some of the Jewish books reportedly placed in toilets.</p>
<p>Police won’t reveal if they have any hard evidence to link Zacharias to the other Jewish hate crimes but in several cases including at Chabad house the vandal threw rocks through a window doing damage.</p>
<p>“We want to hope he’s related to other incidents then we will have a sigh of relief that it’s over and move onto normal life,” said Rabbi Chincholker.</p>
<p>Zacharias was recently commended by IU for his 15 years of service to the school. Police also confirm recent rants of supremacy on the Herald Leader’s blog are Zacharias’ doing.</p>
<p>“The whole community has been supportive of us and almost as hurt by the events as we have,” said Carl Corenblum, an IU Senior who studies at the Chabad house.</p>
<p>“I just want him to know he’s alone out there, most people don’t appreciate it, don’t support it and are disgusted by what he’s done,” said Groysman."</p>

<p>I believe rodney’s D was accepted ED to Elon! Do I have that right? So I guess Univ. of Vermont deferral does not matter much at this point!</p>
<p>RVM:</p>
<p>Thanks re: sending the school an email instead of formal written letter. We’ll try to do that tomorrow or Friday. What about the schools that have his transcript, letters of recommendation and SAT scores, but no application? Probably should notify them too, huh?</p>
<p>levirm - Mazel Tov on D’s acceptance to JHU! </p>
<p>Welcome to all the new posters.</p>
<p>Regarding the guy who was caught at IU. Since he was involved in a scholarship program, I hope they check to see if there was any discrimination in the awarding of those scholarships.</p>
<p>levirm: Congrats on JHU!!!</p>
<p>and yes, my daughter is attending Elon; just posted the deferral for reference for other parents going forward…!!</p>
<p>and I thought Zacharias was a Jewish name as well…agree with mdmom; def should check up on his involvement with scholarship stuff…</p>
<p>Congratulations to Levirm’s D! That is wonderful news!! What a relief to be done with this process!</p>
<p>Congratulations to Levrim and your daughter! I’m a JHU alum, so I’m always happy to hear about kids attending Hopkins. I’m also a native Baltimorean, so let me know if you have any questions. I was heading upstairs and decided to sign on to see if there was any good news tonight. I’m glad I did.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for all of your well wishes! momjr, I may pm you if I think of questions. chocchip, my daughter is interested in creative writing and international studies. She also liked Tufts very much, and was considering Tufts ED2 if she had been rejected from JHU. We may have similar-minded kids!</p>
<p>Mazel Tov to y’all!!!
Happy your kids are getting into the schools they want to attend!!!</p>
<p>Congrats levirm. What great news for your family!</p>
<p>I’m also wondering about notifying schools of w/drawing an application. Our school imposed a deadline by which students needed to inform CC of any Secondary School reports a student would need for schools w/ Jan, 2011 deadlines. Since our school’s deadline was prior to our hearing any decisions, my S told them of two other schools he planned on applying to if he got deferred by his EA schools. Our school has since forwarded transcripts and Secondary School reports to those schools even though my S has not applied, and now does not intend to apply. I think an email notifying the colleges that no application will be forthcoming should be sufficient…you think?</p>
<p>congrats levirm!</p>
<p>Congrats Levirm!</p>
<p>Yay, levirm! I’ve got a friend who is a (very happy) prof there, and a friend’s daughter who is a (very happy) senior. May your kid soon be a very happy freshman.</p>
<p>Conrgrats Levrim! Congrats Rodney! </p>
<p>I love this thread because it is so positive and helpful- no wonder that people that it did not initially attend to attract are gravitating to it! My only complaint is that it is so active that by the end of the day there are so many posts - congrats to anyone I missed!</p>
<p>If there is a new thread that starts "for the parents of B jewish students who are enrolled in college (aka "oy vey how am I going to pay for this!) I want to be a part of it!</p>
<p>Wonderful news, Levirim. Mazel Tov and Yasher Koach.</p>
<p>2flipper2, a new thread might be in order but I do recall that RVM, and probably others are here because of a Junior. At minimum we should all try to report in from time to time, to update reports on the schools our kids wind up going to. On how well impressions, hopes or expectations matched (or didn’t) reality. Especially with some of the smaller schools or those less well known vis a vis our concerns.</p>
<p>'Course, unlike Levirim and Rodney and a few others, I still have a ways to go before I’m at that point. My D didn’t go ED or even have a top choice reach. So I suspect that even when all the acceptances and deferrals are toted up, my daughter may still have to make a few visits before deciding. So lots more posts for me!</p>
<p>UMich:</p>
<p>I guess the proper thing would be to let each college know our plans, even the ones that just got the scores and recommends and not yet the applications.</p>
<p>Mhc48:</p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck…I know when the time comes for my S2, it’s extremely likely we will not do ED and will be (patiently?) waiting until April for those acceptances. We will certainly look for schools with rolling admissions too!</p>
<p>Levrim:</p>
<p>Nice to see our kids had both colleges on their list! 
Unfortunately JHU was the one college we were not able to fit a college visit in until after the applications, so that never happened. My S also looked at UPenn and really did not like it at all, sorry UPenn people! Oops, sorry, momjr, I think you told me D1 is there now… In the end he went with his gut feeling.</p>
<p>My son just sent his scholarship application yesterday to Indiana and the news story had me thinking the same thing. So glad this guy will not be reviewing his application, but I wonder how many other applications were affected. My S was already awarded an automatic scholarship, but the Hutton was discretionary and would give additional funds, as well as the honors college. Amazing that this person was part of the administration. It shows that weirdos can hide in plain site.</p>
<p>Withdrawing applications - just a word of clarification - yes - please e-mail all colleges - even if they have partial materials but not the actual application - just e-mail them. Saves them time and that they they won’t be bugging you asking where is the application.</p>
<p>2flipper2 - I laughed at your “oy vey, now how do I pay” sentiment. I would love to have people share those ideas on this thread as well - particularly if you come across any Jewish scholarship ideas. We are half-way done paying for S1’s college - he has a nice FA pckg but it is still challenging. I am dreading 2 years from now when we have 2 in college simultaneously. I really do not see how that is going to work - we may have to give up heat and food. :)</p>
<p>Leaving work now - early dismissal for SNOW!!!</p>

<p>Congrats on the acceptances! So nice to hear good news!</p>
<p>Rodney - Really surprised that your daughter was accepted to Elon and deferred from UVM. I was under the impression that admission to Elon was more difficult. Sometimes I feel like this process is such a crap shoot! Older S is a sophomore at UVM and loves it.</p>
<p>Mom2009: I thought that the way that UVM looks at stats primarily would be the problem and I was right; she is and will always be a B student with some flashes of B+, A- and more of B-'s…if you take the transcript UW GPA she just hits a 3.0 barely…and i think UVM just takes the transcript GPA…Elon’s process is much more holistic…and they look at the GPA in a whole different way and they know her school…whole different ballgame…</p>
<p>and Elon cares about demonstrated interest…no idea about UVM; its was never at the top of the list…</p>
