Ok, so I realize I’m mostly a lurker and have been debating whether to start this thread.

But I just want to send a HUGE thankyou to this Parents Forum because I’ve learned a ton here that helped me in the college process.

Especially those who helped out with Pomona v/ Scripps. I got some great advice, and in the end I’m headed to Scripps. It took me a long time to settle on it! (hard to give up Pomona) but I feel whole with it and also see the benefits of Scripps own unique pluses, like the fact that it’s a womens school. And of course less debt always factors in majorly!

My main victory here is, of course, going to California. Never in a million years did I think my East Coast overprotective (wonderful of course) parents would actually agree to sending me to the West Coast, which has been a big dream all along.

I’m not sure if I’ll stick around much longer, though I will probably be around on the Scripps board. Reading this is addictive though.

Thanks again to everyone! size=1 [/size]
