Congrats to Samtalya</p>
<p>Rvm…aw hell. I got nothing! Hang in there. Know that we are all thinking good thoughts. </p>
<p>Samtalya and 911… We toasted your good news with a lovely Cabernet called David, chosen as it is also S2s name. S2 has informed me that he will check his status from school prior to baseball and I cannot login. Brat.</p>
<p>RVM, I am sending good vibes your way. I know that the waiting is so hard.</p>
<p>so excited by the good news that I just tried to log in as “samtalya.” Had to correct myself midway. YAAAAYYY! I am thrilled for you, S, and the whole samtalya family.
911, also great news!
Rvm, our dear, dear leader: I wish I could teleport to Maryland and give you a big, comforting hug. Hang tight. We are all thinking good thoughts for you and S.</p>
<p>So happy for samtalya and 911…and holding my breath with RVM. My son was one of the last to hear of his ED decision and the stress of waiting when others were hearing nearly destroyed us.</p>
<p>Awesome news Samtalya!!! I can feel the celebratory vibe. Congratulations also to you 911 but still hoping for you that ED comes through.</p>
<p>RVM, hang in there I know this wait must seem endless. I don’t think there is a thing anyone can say to may it seem shorter. We’re rooting for your S all around the country!!!</p>
<p>So as 12/1 deadlines approach my S mentioned to me that some of his friends at school were starting to panic about not having things done. So I took a moment to gloat and said to him, aren’t you glad I pushed you to get it done. He said, “yeah I’m so glad you are part Asian”. He obviously hasn’t looked at this thread and we clearly don’t live in a Jewish community. He has no idea!</p>
<p>That was funny. I needed the chuckle.</p>
<p>Happy to help :)</p>
<p>Congrats Samtayla! </p>
<p>RVM - Hang in there, we are all waiting with you! </p>
<p>The waiting is so hard. Our initial list has grown and now we wait to. We should know all by Christmas (except for Delaware) I never thought to myself - I can’t wait for Christmas!</p>
<p>RVM: I’m just taking a stab in the dark here…</p>
<p>As I recall, the plan was for S2 to apply to Elon EA, which is a 12/20 decision date. I don’t recall if you had posted that he had changed it to ED, although I know that it was under consideration.</p>
<p>If, by some chance, that he hasn’t gotten a decision yet, could it be that Elon didn’t update their files from EA to ED?</p>
<p>Again, I’m making some assumptions that S2 decided to go ED to Elon. Sorry if I’m off the mark. Just anxious that you haven’t posted anything yet.</p>
<p>S2 checked this morning before leaving for school - did not want to stay up til midnight - and he is accepted ED at Elon! So - we’re happy. Would have been more fun and exciting to get a call yesterday afternoon - but whatever. At least we are done and he is in at his first choice. I thought after all of this I’d be more excited, but it honestly feels weird to just log in and see a few words stating an acceptance. A phone call or big envelope arriving in the mail is so much more exciting. Anyway - he posted it on FB - put on his Elon sweatshirt - and headed off to school. Maybe we’ll be more excited when the whole packet arrives in the mail.</p>
<p>A HUGE thank you to all of you for keeping me company on this journey. I really appreciate your support, advice and friendship.</p>
<p>911C2S - he did apply ED. And that’s kind of a funny story. Once I had the new job in September - we told him the EA/ED decision was up to him - and told him to let us know when he was ready to sit down and discuss. In mid-September - the Elon regional rep - who we have met many times - was at his hs. They apparently had quite a chat - because he came home from school that day and informed us that he had told the Elon rep that he was applying ED! So - that was how that decision was made. I really was fine either way - the decision to apply ED was his.</p>
<p>RVM - I am so happy for your S and for you! I don’t post often but have followed your journey from the start. I have admired your tenacity and your son’s involvement in the process.</p>
<p>I just had to log in early and see if there was news and now I am smiling for you and him!</p>
<p>Oh, RVM, I’m SO happy for you, S2 and the rest of the family!</p>
<p>I also wonder about the logging in to see a decision, but I just don’t have a lot of confidence in our mail. We’re still waiting on two packages after getting telephone confirmation of acceptance.</p>
<p>I guess anyway that this unrolls, it’s stressful.</p>
<p>Again, I’m thrilled for you!</p>
<p>Is it time to start a list of acceptances?</p>
<p>Oh RVM, that is so wonderful to hear! I think that you should definitely celebrate tonight!</p>
<p>Woo hoo RVM and Son, What a night you had. Soooooo happy for you. Can’t wait for all of us to meet. Hopefully the boys will pledge AEpi together!</p>
<p>congrats 911, in the midst of my tears, missed your announcement. happy for you too.</p>
<p>thanks to everyone for the tremendous support. i am sure we will be leaning on each other for the next several months as the birdies fly the coop!</p>
<p>Congratulations Rockville! So excited for you. I have so enjoyed your college application process. (along with everyone else as well!) The insight, knowledge, advice has been immeasurable. Nachas all around!</p>
<p>When are we starting the packing list conversation? discussions about being actively involved in the parent groups vs. innocent bystander vs. this is their journey, we’ll just pay :)</p>
<p>RVM - Congratulations to you and your son! ED has such a huge payoff but can certainly cause immeasurable stress. Enjoy the rest of senior year!</p>
<p>Congrats to RVM, Samtalya and their sons!!! So happy to hear the great news!</p>
<p>Congrats to you all! This is really wonderful!</p>
