<p>Sweet, DocT. Many congrats to her. </p>
<p>Steeler, my kid loved Pitt, also. Will see how acceptances go and may apply for PSTP.
Pitt moved solidly into her top tier. But Yesterday, so did Dartmouth. She said she put her top 5 (so far that she’s had interviews) down on paper and tried to rank them. Epic fail. I told her that she should wait till they rank her. lol. 3 more contenders in the next 2 weeks.</p>
<p>DocT- congrats to your DD; I did not know they were even allowed to indicate that news would be coming, but what a relief it would be to hear that news. Sadly none of the 3 state schools for which DD has/will have interviewed with has rolling admissions.</p>
<p>somemom, all of D’s schools (that she has heard from so far) are rolling or rolling-ish). She has a CHANCE to hear from a few this week but she doesn’t expect it. It seems her schools just have a trickle at the start (like a double handful, except one). Some schools have a hybrid-ized system of “semi-rolling” just to make the circle of confusion complete.</p>
<p>DocT: Awesome news for your daughter. Congrats!</p>
<p>Well the interview process keeps rolling along. DS got another interview request the other day but this one won’t require travel. He had two interviews in the past couple days and of course, they were in different cities. So he flew to one city, returned to school and two days later got back on a plane and flew to another city. He gets to repeat the same process next week. It is getting hard to keep track of what city he is in. </p>
<p>The last two interviews went well. DS remains very positive about both of them. They didn’t offer admission but they told him that he was just what they were looking for and they were impressed. I hope that is code word for “admission.” Unfortunately, he won’t hear from either school for several weeks. He might hear from one other school within the next week or so. </p>
<p>In the meantime, he keeps flying all over the place. It will be nice to finally have an admission offer so that he can be more selective in which interviews he decides to attend.</p>
<p>But mom2boys, can this process be any more convoluted? I’m right there with ya. I hope, against all odds , she gets a love “tap” from any one of her top 5-6 within the next 30 days or so (Texas state schools 11/15). That will drop a couple off the list pronto. She’ll keep a light in the window for the remaining “top-most” schools , but other than those 4 (I think) the remaining 3 schools would be a quick “Withdraw”. Or at least that’s what dad will counsel.</p>
<p>Edit: I did some sdn snooping and last year one of her top 2 schools (so far) accepted 5-7 kids the first week. Not very good odds.</p>
<p>anyone hear back about interviews from the california schools yet?</p>
<p>My D applied to 2 Cali schools. 1 reject and 1 ignore. No invites. Tough state. :(</p>
<p>I hear on sdn that Davis hasn’t even invited anybody yet.</p>
<p>DS applied to one UC school. Rejected him after secondary app. He expected that though since he is OOS but he wanted to give it a try anyway. He wasn’t too disappointed. </p>
<p>I wish this interview process wasn’t so difficult. It would be nice if interviews could be coordinated so that you don’t have to keep flying into the same city/state week after week after week for an interview. At least if they could just try to stay in the same geological area. Some of the schools give you such a narrow window of time for an interview, that it is hard to fit in a couple of interviews when you are there. Those “windows” always seem different for each school. </p>
<p>I have yet to snoop on sdn to see what the odds are for acceptances coming in this next week. I am not sure I want to know.</p>
<p>DD applied to two CA privates, no word yet, just secondaries
She applied to 2 UCs, one reject last week, pre-secondary and one silence</p>
<p>These darn interviews are getting so expensive too, my Mastercard is melting. We are making reservations for one school and it is rolling, but the earlier available date is about $1200 travel and the date a few weeks later is about $600, so DD is waiting, just can’t afford to be stupidly desperate.</p>
<p>DocT- Best wishes that the acceptance is on the way, but beware a bird before it is in hand. I had several schools that told me that I was going to be accepted, only to be waitlisted. Then again, I also had places that went through with it.</p>
<p>Pfft. sdn is reporting that the only school where my D has a smidgen (and it is a smidgen) of chance to get a call the 15th …won’t make any calls till Monday at the earliest. No Dean, no call. Of course, she will be interviewing all day Monday. “Excuse me. I really need to take this call.” lol</p>
<p>Just talked to DS. He got an admission offer!!! He will be going to med school for sure now. He sounded more relieved than excited though. He just happy to have one for sure. He plans on canceling one interview but has to think about the other ones. He likes this school a lot and would be happy there but he is not sure what the final price will be.
I talked to him when he was in the midst of writing a 20 page paper so he wasn’t in the most talkative mood. Nothing like getting an admission offer and still having to deal with the real world.
Mom is happy though.</p>
<p>Congrats to your DS :)</p>
<p>A big Woo-Hoo!!!from Texas. Way to go. That has to feel good to him. Maybe even validating. Certainly a milestone achievement. Here’s hoping he gets some more to have choices.</p>
<p>Just got back from Vandy. That school = <3</p>
<p>Mom2Boys: Huge congrats to your son and you! Phew!</p>
<p>Congratulations M2B!!!</p>
<p>Just got an acceptance email an hour ago along with a Cornell invite. Good day.</p>
