@leoniehill Thank you. That was extremely helpful. I am glad someone understands about the “vibe” because there is no other way to describe it. She loves, loves, loves it there. She is stressing out beyond anything that she won’t be able to go to CU Boulder. Ironically, the last school she was waiting to hear from was from UW Madison, and got denied a couple of days ago. We live in CA, and the airfare to Denver is cheap from San Francisco, so that is the positive going in our direction. I will take her to UMass because maybe she will fall in love with it as she did Boulder, but I hate to even spend that money if she is going to shut down and not even give it a chance. I have a fare-lock right now while we are making the decision.

I went on the CU website last night, and did see a ton of scholarship opportunities. Those are pretty small though, but they all add up. They won’t match scholarships, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask…
