What a difference a few days and getting space to sort out his mind. At Easter services today, a few people asked if he had decided and he said that he is waiting to hear from one more school but that he is likely going to Miami. And, given that everyone knows someone who went there, his response was met with a lot of “Oh great…”
Also, I had reached out to ask about department-specific student outcomes thinking I get a paragraph and links. Got a super long reply from the Chair with great info that I shared with son. Also, found out that since we live more than a certain distance away from Oxford, he can take his car. So, time, reassurance, and car perk got him to “yes”. We will wait until the “no” from Penn on Tuesday before he pulls the trigger. I already ordered some Miami gear from Kohl’s of all places.
