<p>Or still waiting? I know of several families who are struggling with how to keep options open with a RADA callback still to come, for example.</p>
<p>We are still on the fence a little. As of this morning it seems that $$ is going to dictate where S goes. He is making calls to FA offices to try and firm things up and make sure we know all there is to know.</p>
<p>Its hard because we don’t want to close any doors while there are still unknowns out there and at the same time, knowing there are people on wait lists… we want to get this thing wrapped up so everyone can move forward.</p>
<p>You’re in a tough (but enviable) spot, @octaviar, good luck with this last week of it and hope that phone call comes through!</p>
<p>My son is still undecided. It’s driving me crazy! I think the thing that feels the worst to me is he doesn’t feel 100% excited about his decision because there’s the added feeling of turning down a program he really likes. Of course I’m happy for him that he has a choice, but I wish he felt confident in his heart and mind about it. Perhaps in the next two days he will. </p>
<p>We’re having a similar experience here. S is having a different experience than we expected because there is still a wait list out there to think about. Plus, he was very fortunate to have good schools to consider so nothing is black and white and nothing is without a tinge of bitter sweet. </p>
<p>Still waiting… Slim chance getting off the Purchase WL, but D really is not moved by her other choices. So, if no space opens for her, it will be a gap year for us. </p>
<p>My D is on 2 wait lists both in the UK and still has the RADA final round audition. She really loves her US # 1 choice, but she loves the UK so much as well. She’ll be there for 10 days and will be spoiled to bits by the UK clan. If she doesn’t hear from the UK schools before having to commit, it wouldn’t surprise me if she goes the gap year route as well and heads on over to the UK. </p>
<p>We’re still really struggling to decide. Sooooo much stress here in our house! We are so grateful to have good choices and my son has narrowed it down to two. He was all decided until he got another offer off a wait list. now he is obsessively researching, and I think he’s waiting for a sign… </p>
<p>Did the sign come, Bromquest?</p>
<p>Octaviar - what did your S decide?</p>
<p>He deposited with Pace. Looks like he will be in NY unless he gets a call on the 6th. 
</p>
<p>Good luck, Octavia! I hope your son gets the call!</p>
<p>Thanks All!
We are both having a hard time not wanting to think to much about the “what if” and also feeling a little resistant to jump all in with the “sure thing”. I’m just trying to mentally table the whole thing for a few days. By next Wed. we will have a solid direction and can jump in fully. </p>
<p>No sign ever came, Prodesse… but my son ultimately made an agonizing final (final) decision this week. He is going to Rutgers Mason Gross! We are thrilled, but it really was a devastating process having to close doors forever on schools that he has dreamed of attending and that he worked so long and hard to get into. And endless sessions of what-ifs… We have both aged quite a bit. But now we can move forward to the next exciting phase. Thank you, thank you all who have supported us - and each other - throughout. I am amazed at all the super smart, savvy CC parents and students, who know so much more about all this than me. Can’t wait to hear about all our kids’ future adventures and triumphs. </p>
<p>Congratulations bromquest! The decision making part of the process doesn’t get as much attention on CC as “getting in”. The letting go of other possibilities can be so difficult, but definitely character building. Watching my child make the biggest decision of his life thus far was both terrifying and pride inducing.</p>
<p>Rutgers seems like a really awesome choice. Good luck to him.</p>
<p>Congrats @bromquest! We are visiting Syracuse this weekend so that we, too, can make that final, FINAL decision. I am rooting for my D to stick with Fordham, but she needs to visit Syracuse to be 100% sure. The decision making process has been almost as agonizing as the getting in, especially for those of us who are dependent upon financial aid. </p>
<p>We know a student who got into Syracuse. Both are great choices. PM me if your D is interested in connecting with my D’s school mate (also a young lady). </p>
<p>Thank you, @riptide96. My D got off the waitlist a few days ago, and it was the only school we never visited. We are making a quick trip this weekend, though classes are already out for the summer, so I’m not sure she’ll get the full effect. I think her heart is in NYC with Fordham, but she needs to visit to have the peace of mind to know that it was an educated decision. </p>
<p>Fordham Lincoln Center is pretty magical… That’s for sure.</p>
