<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>As posted previously, my son was accepted at Vassar, which stunned us all because it was his reach. But after a lot of soul searching he has chosen to attend Boston University. He was smitten with its “Great Books” Core Curriculum option and its Honors Program. His being named a University Scholar with a merit award of 1/2 tuition was icing on the cake and the cherry on top is Boston itself, which he loves. As an overprotective mom I love that his older brother is right across the river at Tufts, but still, it feels very strange to have him turn down Vassar. But it’s <em>his</em> fit, right? He jokes that he wants a teeshirt that says:</p>
<p>Boston University*
*but accepted at Vassar too</p>
<p>Again, good luck all!! Vassar is an amazing school and you should all be proud to be members of the Class of 2011!</p>
