D was stranded at an OOS interview last year. Remote school and a weird spring storm hit the area. Flights to Atl were cancelled. Delta rerouted her the next day via Detroit. Quick call from H to Delta resolved that and she flew back the next day direct. I was freaking out, but D was the calmest. The school handled it well. Took all the students to the airport and then brought back to campus the kids whose flights were canceled. Sealed the fate on that school for D. Even though she was offered a full free ride, she rejected as the school was too remote!

Advice to your D- remember as soon as she sets foot on campus she is being interviewed. D had 3 overnight interviews and it really help her narrow down her choice. I think she had a good experience with them all. She is excited to be part of the process on the other side this year and can’t wait to meet the incoming students at her school in a few weeks.

Good Luck to your D, exciting times!
