<p>Congratulations to all ED that were accepted! I cant believe that after two years in a row of applications-endless anxious waiting-good news arriving, its already over for me. My D will be attending WUSTL in the fall and I will be using my frequent flyer miles a lot!
Happy Holidays to all!</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congrats to all accepted! My son did ED at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA which is only 60 miles from home! We spent a good deal of time this summer touring colleges in New England - I could not be more thrilled he chose one so close to home!</p>
<p>I don’t think we will be the ones sending care packages… I have a feeling we may be getting “reverse” care packages as in… HIS LAUNDRY! He has been joking that my husband can pick it up on Thursdays and that I can return it on Saturdays! Nice, huh?</p>
<p>Again, congrats to everyone who was accepted ED at their school! We can all enjoy the holidays a little more now!</p>
<p>Can’t believe (but very relieved) it’s over! D will be attending Bryn Mawr College - only 1 1/2 hours from home. She’s an only, so we’re bracing for empty nest syndrome. Congrats to all!</p>
<p>Nice idea for a thread </p>
<p>I’ll have one at Penn State and one at Swarthmore.
Since we’re only a walk down the hill from Swat, she might WANT to bring her laundry home but she’ll still have to do it herself.</p>
<p>I am excited, though, that she might show up for a visit once in a while. :)</p>
<p>Cressmom and others
Congrats on the ED acceptances.It’s so nice to have the process over this early.
Cress…D is a PhD grad student(TA) at WUSTL.Let me know if your child will have anything to do with the Music Dep’t.</p>
<p>I am a CC junkie. I’ve been reading here for over three years, ever since my Daughter decide to apply to Musical Theater colleges. After that, I read discussions on many colleges and many threads relating to applying, getting ready to help Son. After all my research, I am brilliant on Engineering Colleges. </p>
<p>Son applied to one college – University of Michigan</p>
<p>I have been reading the UofM board religiously. It’s rolling admissions, and acceptances come out in batches. Today a bunch of acceptances are being posted. Kids who applied around the same date as Son. With the same or worse numbers as Son (UofM is very number driven).</p>
<p>AND I CAN’T FIND OUT IF HE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED. I don’t know his screen name or password. And he won’t be home for another six hours.</p>
<p>Look out your windows about 3:00 eastern time. If you see fireworks, you know he was accepted!</p>
<p>She might…right now she is doing band, marching band, jazz ensemble, choir, vocal ensemble and the musical. She wants to do business and something artistic (music or drama). My S is in engineering and he loves photography, he isn’t taking classes but he is working for the student paper and wants his sister to write in it (she is very good at it, she has been doing journalism since elementary school). With two kids there, I have to make my reservations for the parents weekend, next year I won’t miss it!</p>
<p>Congratulations to you! My junior twins have just gotten their PSAT scores (both will be commended scholars, just missing the expected semifinalist cutoff by a few points) and you are helping me get excited about next year, and also helping re-live the excitement of son’s EA three years ago. He too is a few minutes from home (junior at Stanford) and we don’t SEND care packages anywhere, we drive them over ;). It is great when they decide to go far afield, but it is truly wonderful when they are close by. You’ll enjoy meeting their friends and becoming known as the cookie fairy godmother! P.S. Son never brings his laundry home. The machines at school are closer, bigger and better, and “free” 
as in, built into that enormous tuition we pay…i</p>
<p>Hats and gloves along with hot chocolate mix to my daughter who was accepted ED to Carleton College in Minnesota. Janine</p>
