My daughter is only waiting on one last school. She applied to LACs that she knew she’d get into. She never really acted excited about any school she visited - she liked them all. As the acceptances came in she was glad to get them, but still not really leaning toward anything. Then she started to get invited to scholarship interviews. That got her more interested as she had more contact with the schools. She had her first interview last week - a total recruiting event, but she left it all pumped up about this school. It was really the first time we saw genuine excitement on her part. Maybe for some it happens gradually. I think sometimes her going off to school is a bigger deal for me than her.
