My daughter is in! Got into Smeal at main campus with fall start! The wait was brutal- we were worried about not submitting scores. We’re so happy! For those of you still waiting, hang in there! It will come any day now.

Huge congratulations!!! My son applied to SHC. If he doesn’t get accepted, I think he’s going to look into Sapphire (business honors society). I don’t know much at all about it other than it is an option if SHC falls through. Conrats again!!! Lots of happy news on here this morning.

Applied 10/21 Fall UP preferred, but noted he’d take Summer start
