<p>I may have missed many posts, but it seems that we had way more drama last year. For starters, there was the famous “12 days of Admissions” (courtesy of TheDad) to provide a daily reminder. </p>
<p>So, how many CCers’ are counting the days and hours to D-day -or Mount Morrison’s climb day for some? </p>
<p>Let’s share the good or no news!</p>
<p>7 days, and two years! Can I stand the tension?</p>
<p>We at CC want to be the SECOND to know…</p>
<p>1 day, or 7 days or 10 days</p>
<p>By the end of next week we should know something. The suspense is killing us!</p>
<p>Since the 2009 class may not have seen last year’s thread, I am copying the March 25, 2004 contribution of TheDad:</p>
<p>7 days to go (Thursday March 25, 2004) </p>
<p>On the seventh day of Waiting the College sent to D: </p>
<p>Seven profs a-teaching
Six frat boys drinking
Fi-i-i-ve Website PINs
Four college posters
Three bumperstickers
Two glossy viewbooks
And a postcard saying “Like-ly!” </p>
<p>Last year we were at <a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?70/55169[/url]”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?70/55169</a>. If you want to skip a few days, you can jump to <a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?70/56065[/url]”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?70/56065</a>. and read the last posts (April 1, 2004).</p>
<p>371 days, and counting…</p>
<p>Another with 371 days. Seems like there are a lot of '06 parents here.</p>
<p>digmedia…no you will be third to know. 1. S, 2. Us 3. CC</p>
<p>fireflyscout: where near Houston…we are in west Hou.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! Tomorrow (Sunday) seems like our last peaceful day before the onslaught of news on CC (no mail, you know.)</p>
<p>We’ve gotten two by mail, one on-line, and nothing from the other five. From lurking around I see that two schools have mailed (judging from the recipients being in the same state as the school-- I assume mailed Friday). one is sending a pin to check Thursday on-line, and two haven’t sent up any sort of flare whatsoever. I know they cashed son’s application check. Plus add two extra days for being in rural Texas.</p>
<p>Simba - The Woodlands.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone - I hope each of your children have great choices.</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure why, but things here have never followed the standard calendar. One of S’s EA schools really behaved more like a rolling admissions campus, and we knew about a week after his app was received. His other EA school didn’t promise to send decisions until mid January, so when all the EA/ED hoopla happened in Dec., we were still waiting. </p>
<p>By now we’ve heard from all 5 schools - all admits - but are still waiting to hear about the honors college and scholarships from our state school. But no one is really waiting since it is not in the running anymore. What we are waiting for are: 1) results of the appeal to increase the amount of a merit scholarship, and 2) another scholarship, which will be decided on April 4. I am not sure how and when he’ll actually hear the results for either of those. So we wait… Good luck all.</p>
<p>Well, Georgetown sent out letters already, and our skinny letter was in the mailbox today. Enthusiastic postal workers could not wait till Monday…so it begins…
Fortunately we have a few very nice acceptances, so there was no ouch factor. However my D has friends that got 2 rejection letters today, with no previous acceptances, and that has got to be rough.</p>
<p>I am hearing from friends…quite a few schools have sent out decisions…Amherst, Middlebury, Smith, WUSTL, Barnard, Wellesley, Haverford…but yeah, next week it all breaks loose.</p>
<p>My S seems quite calm, I am not, so I am trying to not mention college at all although it is always on my mind. Spring Break helped a ton! </p>
<p>we are waiting for scholarship info from S’s top 2 schools. Top choice we could hear as early as tomorrow (waiting for this info since being admitted EA has been horrible!) and the 2nd choice won’t come until after the interview weekend April 7-10. Waiting, waiting and MORE waiting. </p>
<p>So far he has heard from 4 of 6 schools…in at all 4, but still waiting for potential merit money.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!</p>
<p>amherst sent out decisions?</p>
<p>I am not sure if all letters for AMHERST have been sent yet, prolly not; but 2 of my daughter’s friends just found out that they got in. (Maybe they are ‘early writes?’)</p>
<p>The last two my son will hear from are his two fav’s - all the information should be in within 8 days. 3 accepts, 1 waitlist so far. We went out to buy his birthday present yesterday and picked up a college present to - a low to the ground plastic rocking chair called an AK rocker - and gave it to him. Great fun, and very relaxing!</p>
