<p>Each day I (and I’m sure lots of others) check for updates on your S’s waitlist situation, and to see how you’re doing…we’re all still hoping/praying for good news…SOON!</p>
<p>Just wanted to tell you we’re still thinking about you, hoping for you, feeling for/with you…and we’d love an update–</p>
<p>Been thinking about you too Andi. Hope that you have some postive news on the front.</p>
<p>me too. :crossed fingers:</p>
<p>I don’t think Andi/son have had any news yet, but I still firmly believe he will come off the waitlist at a great school. I’m afraid it might be later rather than sooner, though.</p>
<p>It’s June 15th today. I have followed this on the Swat board and that’s when they were told they might get more info. So I am focusing all thoughts on Swat. Want to know something silly? I actually opened the Swat website yesterday and stared at it trying to influence their decision. No I am not kidding, and no, so far no one has locked me up.</p>
<p>Ah, Alumother, you’re so sweet! I too, am sending all the good vibes I can muster to Andi and Andison! </p>
<p>And now, I’m off to my D’s first grade class to help with bubble blowing (last day of school). I’m so glad I have a six year old. Bubble blowing is something I think I can do! So hard to help the older ones with their challenges/situations sometimes . . .</p>
<p>Thinking of you too, Andi! I have a definite sense that things will turn out well, and that your family will look back and see that good has come from it. Not that you’d necessarily want it to have happened, but that in the end there were good ramifications too.</p>
<p>Just heard an interview on NPR with the man whose story was told in the movie Hotel Rwanda. Reminded me yet again how lucky we all are, despite the twists and turns our stories take.</p>
<p>All fingers and toes crossed for Andison - what a spring.</p>
<p>How I wish I had some good news!!! All I have is more of the same…waiting …waiting…waiting…Nothing in the mail today so andison called admissions…was told they had just sent out new letters—nothing about what the letters say — :(— He’s now biking to high school to persuade the GC to call again and try to get some details… </p>
<p>He’s sent in seven additional letters of rec plus a couple he wrote himself…so basically at least one a week.</p>
<p>Andison is doing the work…we’re all cheering for him from the sidelines!</p>
<p>Andi, hoping and praying for your son!!</p>
<p>Some days I think I’ve died and gone to college admissions h*!!</p>
<p>Maybe if I’m extra good they’ll let me out some day!!!</p>
<p>Thinking of your fellow and know that we all feel strongly he deserves some good news! Chiming in! Andison is part of the class of 2009 and a fellow student to be proud of…and we all really care about him!</p>
<p>Andi, you were a great mom before college admissions season, and you’ll be a great mom afterwards. You’re just demonstrating to your kids that life is a marathon, not a sprint, and sometimes you gotta hang in there to get to the finish line.</p>
<p>Thinking of you and your family.</p>
<p>For those inclined to stare at computer screens thinking good thoughts - this is the place to do it. <a href=“Light a Candle - Grateful Living Practice - Grateful.org”>Light a Candle - Grateful Living Practice - Grateful.org;
<p>Hope you hear good news soon.</p>
<p>Just chiming in with the chorus of cc’ers thinking of you and your son. Life is not a straight line and the zigs and zags are what shape us all and help us to become the person we were meant to be. I sincerely hope a good zig comes your son’s way!</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to the day I log onto CC and see a thread describing Andison’s good news under “Featured Discussions” (fingers crossed).</p>
<p>Have you calculated how long it will take a letter mailed from Swat today to reach you? Let’s say you’re in college admissions purgatory and there’s hope for a way out, but it feels hotter than h***. We’re all trying to pour some buckets of water on you!!!</p>
<p>Saying lots of prayers for that window to open!! Can’t stop thinking about you and your son, Andi!</p>
<p>I think waiting is the single hardest thing in the world to do. Clarity is so very much needed, and good news from Swat would be so wonderful. Hoping and praying here, Andi!</p>
