<p>Just a side note, udel15, I have been so amused by the fact of the “Fightin’ Blue Hens” that I refer to my D as a hen every chance I get. It drives her insane.</p>
<p>Since she won’t be home for her birthday this year, I’m planning to have Udee embarrass her on her birthday. I’m only sorry I won’t get to see it.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting! Go to Decision Day and have a GREAT time! My DD went to Decision Day last year even though she knew what her decision was (frist time we met jbevangelista!). We ceremoniously brought her deposit to admissions (wish she would have let me take a picture!) and soaked it all in! Bought lots of UD “stuff”! It was a lot of fun!</p>
<p>zoosermom: I considered getting YouDee to embarass my DD on her b-day last September (her first b-day away), but decided against it. Instead, I had cupcakes delivered from the cupcake store on Main St (I forget the name, but they have a website). </p>
<p>I think it’s great that the incoming freshmen have a say in their dorm choice. My DD would have loved to be in a suite or at least have a roommate, but she ended up with a single. There were definite benefits, but it wasn’t what she was hoping for. (She’s currently in Rodney.)</p>
<p>zoosermom- HAHA! You need to find someone with a camera phone to record it for you!</p>
<p>linymom- Oh, I really hope D doesn’t get a single!!</p>
<p>goincraz4college- Did you call? We received an email from financial aid. Did you?</p>
<p>I got my acceptance letter! The beautiful yellow packet yayy. And the email!</p>
<p>YAY!!! Congrats!!! Hoping ours comes tomorrow!!</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>Thank you!!! I’m almost positive it will. And I’m in PA, so I’m really close to UDel</p>
<p>Me, too, last time it was 2 days, so manana seems about right. Again, congrats!</p>
<p>Thanks so much, congrats to you and your daughter again as well! 
that would be funny if we ended up running into each other- we can share our horrible glitch stories with each other!</p>
<p>HAHA! I think the glitchers will remain very low key, maybe they could share a secret sign only they can recognize! Which Decision Day are you attending?</p>
<p>Agreed hahaha and I unfortunately can’t go to neither one of them 
I was convinced that I wouldn’t even be invited since we weren’t supposed to hear until may! I’m just going to go on a regular accepted tour that they offer.</p>
<p>linymom and zoosermom- I need an opinion! Is it appropriate to bring a sibling to decision day? D’s younger brother is entering HS next year and we’re considering bringing him.</p>
<p>Big yellow envelope arrived today!!! YAAAAAAAAAY!</p>
<p>CONGRATS!!!</p>
<p>So happy for you!</p>
<p>Udel15: I did not bring younger DS with us as he would have been so bored (he was hs freshman at the time). There might have been families there but I didn’t pay attention. I think you should do whatever is best for your family. </p>
<p>I think I met zoosermom that day and I think she brought a younger sib. I’m sure she will weigh in.</p>

<p>Thanks, collmomof2!!! Did your S decide?</p>
<p>We didn’t take our younger daughter either although I did see a LOAD of younger kids there.</p>
<p>linymom- Thanks for the input! We did take him on a tour of another school and he loved it. He’s very, very bright, but sometimes does not put forth his best effort. Seeing the goal, getting into a good school, seems to have lit a little bit of a fire under him. He hasn’t been to UD yet and I think it would be a positive experience for him! </p>
<p>jbevangelista- Thanks! Good to know there are others who brought siblings along!</p>

<p>My son did not decide yet- we will be attending decision days next week, and will probably make a decision on that day, or right after.</p>
<p>This is my youngest- we brought him with us when our oldest was looking at schools 4 years ago. He’s a good kid, but he was bored- payed little attention, and remembered little/nothing about the schools 4 years later when it was his turn to make choices.</p>
<p>If you have a choice- leave your younger child home unless they express interest, or they are a junior right now.</p>
<p>UDEL15 – Especially for the senior who is trying to decide, the family distraction of a younger sibiling is a lot…if your senior knows they want to be a Blue Hen, it is less of an issue.</p>
