<p>I’m happy to announce that we (finally) took our sukkah down tonight :)</p>
<p>Congrats to Linyson. Here’s hoping the hurricanes come thru…</p>
<p>Thank you! I did share the news with my parents. Just got an email back from my mom asking if that scholarship was good for every school. I WISH! (She is rooting for the 'Canes, too.)</p>
<p>Congrats to LINYMOM!!! Loving the safety. Loving the safety with money. Loving the safety with palm trees. Today is a good day, LINY!!</p>
<p>Vitrac: You forgot one. Loving the safety with direct flights from our little airport on Southwest!</p>
<p>Loving the relatively affordable safety with that nice scholarship too. The cost of attendance with the scholarship approximates an in state school.</p>
<p>Great news Linymom!</p>
<p>How sweet it is, Linymom!!!</p>
<p>Congrats to Linymom and son!</p>
<p>DS has been accepted to Pitt and Alabama (got the scholarship letter yesterday from Bama). DS and husband will be visiting Alabama in two weeks, fingers crossed they like it. I mailed 8 HS transcripts yesterday, I was surprised to have 2 acceptances before transcripts where sent - test scores are better then grades. He is another NMSF with not great rank.</p>
<p>DS has no favorite school, so I feel like we are missing “the perfect school”. I should be happy he is leaving his options open. He still has to finish the UMCP application, but has submitted 6 others. One more definite application for after Nov.1 and two maybes and then it’s on to scholarship and honors college apps. UMBC came off the list after a visit last fall and has vaulted to the top again after a rep visited his AP econ class and sold him on a public policy honors program. We re-visited and he wanted to know who planted the 100’s of trees since his last visit.</p>
<p>@LINYMOM congrats on the first acceptance!</p>
<p>@Mom24boys- let me know if you have any questions about Pitt!</p>
<p>awesome news, linymom! congratulations. a few local kids heard positive news back from tampa as well. nice that they let you know so fast and so early!</p>
<p>My cousin went to Penn undergrad and then Emory for her PhD and said Emory was every bit as welcoming as Penn had been.</p>
