Parents of the HS Class of 2016 (Part 1)

We graduate at a performing arts center too, but graduation date is set way back last year. There are 4 or 5 schools that graduate there so we are always the 4th Wednesday of June at 4pm.

CONGRADS to everyone else with good news! I have regained my composure via a bit of extra chocolate and can now handle more excitement. Bring on the good news for everyone, I say. I truly hope that everyone’s DC reach a decision they feel great about soon. I am willing to share my virtual chocolate with those in need. Just let me know.

Just learned that DD has been accepted to Mount Holyoke and received a Leadership Award! I thought she would get in but did not expect the scholarship. Things are definitely looking up here!

S got accepted to Brandeis. That led to a mini-discussion about schools. 5 acceptances, 5 still waiting on. I don’t think this is going to be as easy a decision process as we had with D.

Congrats @AnxietyAttack77 and @PAO2008

I don’t know how @EastGrad manages to summarize everything without leaving anybody out. Congrats on the hat trick @Kat2013 , and also to @AnxietyAttack77 and @PAO2008.

@crowlady - I can’t see any updates by @DAPIStained on that doc
?

need to look for old name - Chicago and Williams added.

@fretfulmother Remember that he changed clothing :wink:

@fretfulmother Yeah, @texaspg is right. I didn’t want to mention the old user name. I don’t know how stealthy we need to be.

CONGRATULATIONS @DAPIStained <:-P :bz <:-P :bz <:-P

@texaspg @kittymom1102 @crowlady - thank you! My aging brain had totally forgotten the old outfit, however. But I figured it out once I read the list again. :slight_smile:

Yes- congrats to @DAPIStained - Hope the move is going well too!

<:-P Congrats @AnxietyAttack77 @PAO2008

Thank You Everyone!

Gosh this is all so exciting! My family asks everyday what the word is on CC
funny in the beginning they thought I was a little bit crazy, now we are all invested.

re: decline notifications. So far several schools that had online accept/decline systems specifically had a drop down menu asking where she was accepting and/or a box to leave a message when she indicated that she was declining. I think if I were in admissions I would want to track where we loosing students. D16 it keeping it short and simple. Still needs to get a few more done.

Found out I got into Sarah Lawrence College today with their Presidential Scholarship (24k/year renewable merit)! Very excited!

@frenchtoastlover - Got to ask - did you leave out any colleges from your list? :slight_smile: It seems so diverse.

Haha @texaspg! I did apply to a wide range of colleges
too big a range some would say!

Congrats @labegg on the decision!

Congrats on the great news, all, and condolences to those deferred and wait-listed. Frenchtoastlover, you get the stamina award for applying to so many colleges / universities. My D pooped out after seven. She was done. I did read a thread by someone who said she had applied to 27 schools, and she said that the record at her school was 34. I cannot even imagine.
