<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations! Terrific news!</p>
<p>Congrats to your son. If you don’t feel its too personal, could you tell the board what you thought may have helped him get in? GPA? Coursework? Essays? Transfering from? Extras?</p>
<p>Congrats, huge relief I bet.</p>
<p>Good job! My friend just got accepted from the waitlist as well! :)</p>
<p>ah that’s great! i’m going into the cola too! ~ english. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the nice notes congratulating my son. To answer the credentials question and why we think that he was admitted: He has very strong test scores (2210 SAT, 750 and 800 on SAT2’s), challenging course load with lots of AP’s, good EC’s, but he was just outside the top ten class rank percentile at a very competitve suburban DFW high school. It seems that there were very few in-state slots left after the top ten auto-admits were processed. It is hard to predict the outcome of the holistic admission review process so we are very thankful that it worked out!</p>
<p>Congrats, what major is your son going into if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
