<p>dramasongbird - the original poster! - CONGRATS, I was just thinking about you today. </p>
<p>keil - you are right about the “chances” threads…I’ve often thought how ridiculous the concept of having complete strangers chance you on “stats” – there is the human element that comes across in an application. I knew if I ever posted my daughter’s stats she would get the thumbs down. She does not measure up to the high statistical standards of College Confidential, but I knew she had something that William and Mary might be interested in. This comes across in Arts Supplements, Teacher Recommendations, Essays and Supplemental Applications (which for my daughter was not an essay but something unique to her personality). I’ve often wanted to post something about “chancing” complete strangers.</p>
<p>momray - I will tell my daughter’s friend about the friend of your daughter’s who got her acceptance a week later than your daughter. CRAZY. It makes you wonder if everything does really go out together. It was very sweet yesterday when my daughter called her friend and gave her the news – I could hear her friend screaming on the other end of the phone because she was so thrilled for her! This truly is a milestone – one of those special times that we’ll never forget. I so hope her friend gets in, as do I hope the posters to this thread get their good news. You really get a vicarious thrill for the good news and true empathy for the “not so good news”.</p>
<p>Oh, and soccerguy, thanks for the links. I sent my daughter the one that was the “offical group” link on facebook. I’m sure she’ll join today. I don’t think we’re supposed to post names here, but she’ll be the one from Foxcroft School.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I’ll continue to follow this thread. I’m attached now!!</p>
