Parents of the HS Class of 2016 (Part 1)

Thats wonderful news @sseamom Congratulations to your daughter!

@bookmom7 Congrats to your DS making NMF!

@carolinamom2boys Congrats on your DS being accepted into the Honors College at Clemson!

Triple congratulations to your daughter! @Themommymommy

@Congrats on the NMF for your D! @MidwestMomTo2

@indsfolax Congrats on your D’s acceptance to UCB!

Congrats on your daughter’s acceptance to Berkeley! @ballerina16

@kittymom1102 Congrats on the UF acceptance for your son!

@Mom2jl, I read somewhere that UCSB Regents invite comes out early March. So I guess that is the next deadline.

On another note, S told me he and his friends froze last night up in Big Bear so they slept in the car. Overall he said they are having a grand time.

@frenchtoastlover Congrats on your acceptance to Berkeley!

@Undercovermom1 Congrats on the invite and acceptance to UCSB for your daughter!

@Skates76 Congratulations on the scholarship weekend invite for your daughter!

@Justathought1 So happy for you and your son. Congrats on making the final decision!

Thank you @collegemom2boys ! In addition to being admitted to UF, S also FINALLY got his National Merit Finalist Certificate at school. He is the only 1 in a class of almost 500. I think he is the second in the school’s history - he attends a Title I school of 100% minority kids, Hispanic and African American. It was a good day :slight_smile:

Congratulations to @carolinamom2boys, @Themommymommy @MidwestMomTo2 @indsfolax @ballerina016 and anyone else I missed <:-P

For those who didn’t get the best of news, hang in there, in this process there are not-so-good-days, but there a good days as well … your good days are right around the corner. Hugs to you >:D<

Congrats to your S @kittymom1102

Thank you @readingclaygirl :slight_smile:

I think I missed the news about UF, @kittymom1102 . Congratulations!

So envious of you @Justathought1

Good news! D just got the Chancellor’s reception invite for UCSB!

Yay! @Mom2jl

Thank you @petrichor11

CONGRATULATIONS ! @Mom2jl <:-P

Greeeaaaat I post something about the Chancellors at UCSB being in early March and the very next post is someone getting congratulated on being invited. LOL Story of my life. lololol

S is on his way home so we will he will check then.

Okay, this is mind boggling. S is a Regents invite for UCLA, but not for Berkeley and he didn’t receive it for UCSB either.

@kittymom1102 @Mom2jl @Undercovermom1 congratulations

How do Californians keep track of all the details involved in uni applications? My head is spinning just listening to you all!

@Mysonsdad Saying that this college process is random would be the UNDERSTATEMENT of the century ! :open_mouth:

I’m in Florida and those were my exact same thoughts @petrichor11

California colleges look like a weird animal to me …

@Mysonsdad no UCSB mailing here too.

@Ballerina016 Does your D’s school have good luck, historically, with UCSB?

It appears that certain HS are feeders for certain UCs, am I wrong?

Confusing …

@Ballerina2016 WHAT!!! How the heck did your daughter not get one? Do you think it is a chance that our kids are overqualified? No offense to anyone, it’s just that may UCSB knows who most likely won’t be attending even if they are given free money which hurts their yield.

I just want one admittance to a local target.

@kittymom1102, what you say is so true. It is almost as if the UC’s adopt a campus

@Justathought1, pull up a beach chair and relax with your cocktail of choice in the “done” club.

Congrats, @Undercovermom1!

@kittymom1102, sometimes I wish there were a “love” button. I love your post about your son’s status and school.

Congrats, @Mom2jl!

Hugs to you and your DS, @Mysonsdad. It does sound like he and @Ballerina016’s D are suffering from Tufts Syndrome.
