Congrats @SincererLove what an amazing accomplishment!!
Hugs @Dolemite but she has a lot of good choices if memory serves!!
@RightCoaster I too was wondering what nitro ball is 
Best of luck to him I can’t wait to hear about it.
Congrats @SincererLove That’s great news for your D! <:-P <:-P <:-P
Congrats @smcirish!
S also got a No from MIT. He is happy to have gotten great news from a competitor a couple days ago. Hugs to @Dolemite and anyone else who got a No today.
Re: Rails on lofted beds - http://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/
If my kid lofts her bed, she will have a rail.
@Dolemite @Ynotgo , D does have one hook…without telling us, she filled out recruitment questionnaire. Even though she is not that fast a swimmer, she may help the coach fill the lanes…she is between 2nd tier and 3tier on her stroke (4 lanes for each team) DH is adamant that we are not swimming for $70k a year, but D may give it a try to see if she can juggle. She loves the name of the team…MIT Engineers. Btw, she got rejected from caltech!!
And DH who went to UIUC for his PHD (on big MAC and gave up MIT) kept warning her about surviving there. We are pretty sure that she probably can’t go to bed at 10 pm there as she is doing now!!
@ca1543, just asked D…D told me she applied CS and math Econ major there, but you don’t declare major until your 2nd year.
Thank you so much for your support!!! I am glad that we have this forum to share our journey to May 1st and beyond!!
@Ynotgo Sorry for your son’s disappointment. It will just keep him humble so CalTech doesn’t give him a big head.
Does MIT even have a TV show about it? He’ll rock it anywhere he goes anyway.
CWRU will release decisions tomorrow 3/15 8PM in case anyone is waiting. (pun intended)
It was high on DS’s list but has fallen low since the deferral. In any case it will be nice to have a closure. I hope to have a tête-à-tête in the weekend as all the decisions will be in, but he may not want to. Sigh. :-t :!!
@SincererLove D20 would love to run or swim for MIT but not sure we’d want to spend that money either
@SincererLove congrats!!!
Huge congrats to @SincererLove 's D!! that’s awesome - do you think the swimming really helped - how cool is
that? Condolences to those who – like my DS - did not get good news from MIT. Hopefully they’ll take it in stride and pursue some fabulous options! How about some pie!!!
@SincererLove Congrats on MIT! How exciting
@Dolemite Hope your D is not too disappointed. Many good options for her ahead, I’m sure.
Hugs and pies to @CA1543 =((
Hope better news comes along soon!
Congrats on MIT, and sorry to those who didn’t get the good news…
For pie, my mom’s caramel pecan pie is my favorite, but I also love cherry, and chocolate peanut butter, and lemon merengue, etc., etc…
Another snow day tomorrow, and it is way nastier tonight than it was this morning. I think we’re up to about a foot, and it’s still coming down and blowing around. DH is out plowing the driveway again-'we’ll see if I can get out tomorrow… Stay safe & warm if you’re also in this mess tonight.
@payn4ward After about the 10th reading of your post, I finally got the pun. In case anyone was wondering, I am apparently not CWRU material - slow and too reserved.
@youcee :)) :))
Well, you got it eventually.
QOTD: pecan and apple crumb. Even though I love to cook and bake, I have to admit I love mrs smith apple pie. But I make my own whipped cream!
Congrats on MIT @SincererLove that’s great news!
My D will loft her bed next year, but I can’t imagine her falling out of bed…if she doesn’t fall out of bed now at the regular height, why would she fall out if it’s higher? Am I missing something?
@youcee I think the Early Indicator of Entrance Interest Option would be especially attractive to agriculture majors. 
I’m planning to argue for a rail if lofting happens. S does fall out of bed, chairs, etc. Let so now than when he was younger…
Another MIT acceptance at our house. One of D’s top choices. Tough decisions ahead. . .
Congrats to @SincererLove and @nw2this on the MIT acceptance - Woo Hoo! As hard as they are to make, it’s great to have choices!
Hugs to @Dolemite and @Ynotgo. Rejections are never easy, but having other great choices certainly softens the blow.
@smcirish Congrats on the scholarship!
Congrats and hugs to anyone else I’ve missed!
