Parents of the HS Class of 2017 (Part 1)

@lovethebard Nice! Big Grinnell fans here.

@LoveTheBard – good luck on the Belk – seems like she’s gotta a good shot at it! Congrats on Grinnell! That’s some serious big MAC.

@CaucAsianDad what a wonderful wonderful story!

@socalmom007 I totally get it. We’ve left the 2 boys home alone for one night. We have a long weekend coming up next month and I’ve not yet decided what to do about it. I need to figure it out.

@LoveTheBard WOW! those are some seriously exciting developments! Congratulations

Congratulations @LoveTheBard !!!

Such great news and Big MAC rolling in indeed!

Congrats to @LoveTheBard ! Awesome news. How did she hear about it?

@LoveTheBard congrats on your D’s great news, and continued success.

@CaucAsianDad What a lovely story - I teared up with that one!

@LoveTheBard Congrats on semifinalist for Belk AND big MAC at Grinnell!!!

There is a big envelope from a college plus a swag package from CWRU sitting on the table. I really want to open them…

@LoveTheBard – Congrats!! Best calming and cool and luck wishes for the Belk!!

Thanks to all for the good wishes.

We’re all doing a bid ol’ happy dance today – turns out that D17 just made a triple play: she just found out that she was awarded a full-tuition Chancellor’s Scholarship at Vanderbilt!

@picklesarenice - She got an email from Grinnell today telling her to check the portal. This came on the heels of her being asked to upload a 100 word “Why Grinnell?” essay last week, and her responding to an email from a graduating senior that reached out to her.

@porcupine98 - Did you have a DC that went to Grinnell? We know an adult in academia that went there many moons about and loved his experience there, but have no more recent knowledge.

@mamaedefamilia - Congrats on the CWRU swag and remember that patience is a virtue, and all that…

We look forward to your good news!

wow – full tuition to Vanderbilt - @lovethebard – that’s awesome - I recall she has pretty amazing stats - any special hooks? She hitting lots of home runs!

@LoveTheBard full scholarship to Vanderbilt is a nice score. I was able to visit there a long time ago and I really liked it there. Lots of good choices for your D, she can’t go wrong.

D got the same scholarship at Vanderbilt as @LoveTheBard 's D. ! She said that makes her decision that much harder :frowning:

She said she isn’t going to the special weekend for admitted students for Vandy because she has robotics regional. DH and I are like…"forget robotics! " :wink:

Congrats to Vanderbilt scholarhsip @SincererLove and @LoveTheBard . Did you receive an email?

@LoveTheBard @SincererLove Congrats to your children on the great news.

Mail @srk2017. D received an email last week saying she wasn’t selected as semifinalist for Ingram.

@LoveTheBard Wow!!! Vanderbilt is one of the loveliest campuses I’ve ever set foot on and a stellar place all around. Well done!

Congrats @SincererLove! The best part is that they don’t have any more hoops for our girls to jump through!

@SincererLove – awesome news - congrats to your D – I am with you - forget robotics, but my DS would likely react similar to your D!

In my excitement, I didn’t congratulate you @LoveTheBard!! Congratulations to the triple play or hat trick!! <:-P <:-P <:-P :))

Yes, no semifinalist progressing to finalist, so on and so forth.
