<p>My dd received her first acceptance phone call today and they said the letter would be forthcoming. Nothing prepared me for how proud I felt today.</p>
<p>She was accepted into Anderson University, a private liberal arts college. It’s not her #1 choice but it’s a good one and I am so happy to have one acceptance!</p>
<p>Carimama: She is VERY excited!</p>
<p>Congratulations to your D, Octoberdana!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who have received acceptances! My D got her first acceptance today: Coastal Carolina University! She still has to do her interview/portfolio review for the theatre department, but it feels great to know she has one acceptance already!</p>
<p>Congratulations to your D, ugadog99!</p>
<p>My D was accepted at St. Mary’s with a $12,000 per year merit award, St. Ambrose with a $10,000 year merit award, Eastern Illinois University with $2,500 year merit, Illinois State University (waiting on merit info), and University of Wisconsin Whitewater (waiting on merit info). We have not heard from her “dream school” Loyola University of Chicago. </p>
<p>UW Whitewater is most realistic first choice due to location (1.5 hours away). OOS cost about same as in state IL schools. My D loves the campus. But all depends on financial package. </p>
<p>She’s done applying for schools and is now working on scholarship applications and retaking the ACT.</p>
<p>Wow, congrats mamadubbs! That’s awesome news!!</p>
<p>Wow! That’s fantastic, Mamadubbs! Congratulations to your D!</p>
<p>First acceptance letter from Truman State, no $$ info - just congratulation and that the detailed letter will come in late Oct.</p>
<p>Congrats psblstnr! Hope your big envelope comes in the mail sooner rather than later :)</p>
<p>Congratulations psblstnr!</p>
<p>Thanks, mamadubbs and cromette! We love rolling admission and Truman for being super fast with acceptance (applied on 9/25, transcript received on 10/3, acceptance letter dated 10/4)</p>
<p>We applied to Montana State for their film program and we received a full acceptance package in the mail within 1 week with a small scholarship! This will be out of state and a big change for her, we live in San Diego 
My daughter is so excited because now she feels that there might be hope for some of her reach schools.</p>
<p>Congrats, coralbrook!</p>
<p>Our daughter was accepted into the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. She is also eligible for the University Honors College.</p>
<p>She submitted her application less than 2 weeks ago, so it was a pretty fast turn around.</p>
<p>Although we were certain she would be accepted at Pitt, it’s still exciting to receive the first acceptance.</p>
<p>Congrats coral brook and flymetothemoon! My D received her acceptance letters very quickly too. I think applying before the rush helped. Peace of mind is a beautiful thing!!</p>
<p>Our daughter got her acceptance to Florida Atlantic University. She’s completed an app for Georgia Southern and has half an application completed for FSU (it’s the essay that’s holding up the process :). FAU was her first choice, so I’m thinking we are just going to be sending in her deposit soon! </p>
<p>Congratulations to all who have heard so far. There really is no adequate description for the feeling we parents get from this!</p>
<p>Congrats on all the acceptances…and yay for the one and dones!</p>

<p>I’ll comment here instead of the thread this comment was posted on, since that thread is not for discussion.</p>
<p>I think what this indicates more than anything is the tendency for boys to procrastinate more than girls, so the girls have their applications in at a lot more colleges than boys do at this point.</p>
<p>I agree with FlyMeToTheMoon - my DD was wanting to send out college apps as soon as school started. I made her wait till her school counselors had a chance to review her essays and provide some additional guidance. All her close girlfriends have started applying while none of her guy friends have as of yet. I just don’t think the guys stress as much over the details. Just my opinion :)</p>
<p>Congrats to all! My D has received her academic acceptances to University of Oklahoma and Indiana University so far! But, she is also auditioning for ballet programs, so we still have to wait for those. She auditioned at OU last week and we are waiting on that letter. So stressed out!</p>
