<p>New to the CC site: Daughter was deferred at Harvard ED, accepted to Virginia Tech, Alabama, University of Georgia, and University of Michigan. Still waiting to hear from 11 other schools. My patience is wearing thin!</p>
<p>Dani- your daughter’s acceptances are very impressive! All of us are experiencing a lack of patience at this time. Hopefully just a few more weeks of this, and then we will all have some relief.</p>
<p>Hi Fly, You are so right, I’m sure everyone is tired of the waiting game. A few more weeks and life can return to normal (hopefully).</p>
<p>D was accepted to u of miami with $25,000 merit $ per year and today received an email that she is a finialist for the singer scholarship…i’m so proud of her!! Visiting u of michigan, u of georgia, and u of miami the week of the 25th. It’s a long trip from ca.</p>
<p>Son was accepted to Drexel, UVM, RIT. I’m very proud of him. Even if he get’s rejected from everywhere else (UMass Amherst and Northeastern are the only others he’s considering), he has some good options!</p>
<p>Congratulations, LexDad. You should be proud!</p>
<p>What we know:
UAlabama (full ride minus about $7K/annually)
Auburn (full ride minus about $9K/annually)
UKentucky (full ride)
MSU (full ride + a few extra thousand)</p>
<p>Accepted: Ohio State (waiting on merit and Scholarship info)
UC Irvine (waiting on Merit and Scholarship info)</p>
<p>Waitlisted (Michigan & UChicago)</p>
<p>Still waiting on RD’s from about 3 other schools. Agony, as the favorites have not yet spoken…</p>
<p>So far DD accepted to WashU, UChicago, UIUC, and USC. So proud of her. She has some tough decisions ahead, but some great choices. She has 3 more schools to hear from. She is actually starting to enjoy the process now rather than stress about it.</p>
<p>Brand new to CC. </p>
<p>DD accepted ED to Tufts in December and hasn’t looked back. After visiting around 20 schools, she spent an afternoon at Tufts last summer, almost as an afterthought, as she was burned out on college visits. Others schools on her list were Haverford, Colgate, W&M, WUSTL, BC, U Penn, Cornell, and Wellesley. Can’t stress enough the importance of college visits/ blogs/ local info events. Tufts, in her mind, topped the other schools in each of those areas. Finding the best fit with the info at your disposal—that’s the key.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone as decisions trickle in!</p>
<p>To add to last post…</p>
<p>As well as Tufts amazing ADCOM team (Dan’s the Man), have to applaud Colgate for their warm welcome (and the Chipwiches), W&M for their breezy, helpful admissions site/ blog, and the kind Wellesley ADCOM who stuck around until my husband’s baseball cap was retrieved from a locked hall!</p>
<p>My son has been accepted to UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Fresno State and Cal State Northridge all as a Mechnaical Engineering major. He has also been admited to UC San Diego as Electrical but was put in the Elenor Roosevelt College which he didn’t like. He has pared down the list to UCD and UCI, and is trying to decide where. He wants someplace that has ‘pizazz’. I tell him pizazz won’t get him a job. He hasn’t visited UCD except on vitual tour (too far away). Can anyone shed some light on this?</p>
<p>UCD is an agriculture school, JohnE… so I would recommend a visit. It is a mix of old worn out buildings and some newer ones. There IS a smell of cows. Some people don’t notice it and some do. Davis is a small town. It is HOT in fall/summer. </p>
<p>For the academics, you probably know better than I do . But it is a very different campus and culture than UCI . The kids I know that went there (not mine) graduated a while ago and all are doing very well. But one says that you have to love it there or you really hate it.</p>
<p>JohnE - We live in NorCal and have been on the campus (my S also is admitted, but he wants an “east coast” experience). It is a nice college town, and is very popular with good students I have known who have really liked it. UCI of course has a very different vibe, in a very pretty spot. UCD is less scenic but a nice safe town feel, and close to SF, Sacramento and Tahoe. Good place to learn about vinoculture too!</p>
<p>So far:</p>
<h1>1: admitted to Penn State, U of Colorado. Waiting for NYU, BU, Northwestern, UCLA, Tulane, UVa, William & Mary.</h1>
<h1>2: admitted to Purdue, Miami (Ohio), UNC Greensboro, George Mason, RIT (school of film and animation). Waiting: JMU, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Northeastern</h1>
<p>Accepted at: Binghamton, University of Maryland College Park Honors College with President’s scholarship, Brandeis, Macaulay Honors College (Full ride), Hofstra Honors College (Presidential scholarship). </p>
<p>Waiting on: Columbia, Cornell NYU, Sophie Davis Biomedical School of Medicine (its a 7yr BS/MD medical program, his first choice by far!!)</p>
<p>Great options so far but still waiting on financial packages and his decision notification from Sophie Davis doesnt come out til April 1st. The wait is killing us!! We have NO idea what to choose if he doesn’t get into sophie. We’re hoping/wishing/praying that we dont have a decision to make.</p>
<p>My daughter has been accepted at Franklin College (IN), Monmouth College (IL) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Received financial aid offers from all 3, and committed to Monmouth, which had the most merit-based aid & the smallest amount of loans.
Rejected by Harvard (even before we did taxes, FAFSA & CSS Profile); still waiting for RD decisions from Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, Brown, Haverford, Swarthmore, and Washington & Lee. Those East Coast schools (should they accept my daughter) would have to make VERY good financial aid offers to match what she’s already been offered by Monmouth, though!</p>
<p>WL at UChicago, only news so far.</p>
<p>So far DC was accepted to Northeastern, Fordham, Miami, SVA, Pepperdine, And USD.
Waiting for the final four: Berkley, UCLA, NYU and RISD.</p>
<p>ND decisions are in the mail! (according to Facebook post)</p>
<p>Son got in to Harvard SCEA. He’s going!</p>
