<p>Thanks for all of your feedback. I appreciate it. Our S did submit a written appeal, completely written by him, with a brief letter from his MD to document his clinical depression. Now we wait to hear back from the Coll of Eng.<br>
In the meantime, S did “thaw out” a little and is beginning to talk more about where to go from here. Today S and H are meeting with a local college that offers same-day admissions decisions for fall 2012. S decided himself to apply as a business major and we are pleased that S is thinking about where he belongs.<br>
Next week he visits Rutgers that has an excellent engineering program in Newark (about the polar opposite of Champaign campus). I insisted last night that he log onto his UIUC student web account to show me official communications from Coll of Eng. He had emails there that were never opened.<br>
Our family seems to be recovering from the shock and is taking steps.</p>
