<p>D accepted today at TCNJ!</p>
<p>D accepted to Pitt (pre-med), Rutgers NB (pre-med), Stockton. Waiting on TCNJ, BC, UNC, Rowan, Bucknell. Applied ED to Penn (reach).</p>
<p>S accepted to Duke ED. Done! Whew (collapses in puddle).</p>
<p>@usernamelm I have a puddle here, too. D accepted to Cornell University ED. Now she can enjoy xmas break without those pesky RD apps hanging over her head.</p>
<p>@Joalexa
How did you get a Bucknell response so quickly?</p>
<p>@Woandering Joelexa said he/she was “waiting on” Bucknell (and other schools).</p>
<p>Only puddle here this weekend was of sadness. D was rejected from her dream school, Stanford. (I know, I know–she’s in good company!) She is now one of those legendary “Kids Who Were Rejected With Perfect Test Scores.”</p>
<p>^oh, bummer. So stressful this all is. Sure she’ll end up somewhere great.</p>
<p>I saved myself disappointment and only applied to schools I knew I could get into. Got accepted this week to New Mexico State University. (Already accepted to Wichita State University.) Not big accomplishments compared to most to people on here, but I’m satisfied. Once I find out whether or not I’ve made NMF, which I think I will, I’ll decide which one to go to. Congrats to all you who will get into your dream schools - condolences to those who didn’t. </p>
<p>Yes to Cornell ILR ED. Process officially over!!!</p>
<p>D accepted EA to Tulane & Case Western Reserve. Waiting on a few others. Didn’t apply ED anywhere. </p>

<p>@albert69 - Never, ever say this. Getting into college is a very big accomplishment and if this is where you want to be, then you should not worry about what others may or may not think. As a parent, I am proud of you for knowing yourself, and I am sure your parents are proud of you too. You will probably end up one of the most satisfied kids in college next year cause you seem to have your head on straight.</p>
<p>Best wishes!!</p>
<p>Son got his acceptance to Tufts university today - early decision. We are all so thrilled. He had just submitted his other apps - so now he has to email the schools and pull those apps. </p>
<p>I was accepted to Western Washington University, University of Portland, University of Idaho, Iona College, and Eckerd College. Still waiting on Gonzaga University (applied early action) and NYU (applied regular decision, I hate commitment which is why I didn’t apply ED1 or ED2). </p>
<p>Congrats on everyone’s acceptances and condolences to everyone who didn’t get into their dream school. Just know that there is a place for everyone somewhere, it may just be where you least expected it to be. 
</p>
<p>son accepted to Stanford- now he’s thinking of applying to east coast school #killmenow</p>
<p>Going to NYU was always a dream for me. WELL ITS NOT A DREAM ANYMORE! CLASS OF 2019 BABY!</p>
<p>DD just got her acceptance to her first choice school; Florida State University. It’s been a tense few months and we’re all over the moon!</p>
<p>D1 got her admission to WPI. No word on merit scholarships or FA yet.</p>
<p>It is wonderful to hear about so many students getting into schools that they want to attend. I have to disagree with tperry1982 though. This is going to be an unpopular stance but I hope you will consider it. I do not agree that getting into college is an accomplishment. Applying is an accomplishment because it requires a lot of effort. So getting your applications in on time is an accomplishment. Getting good grades, doing good work, winning competitions, creating things, being able to play musical instruments…those are all accomplishments. Your accomplishments may help you to be offered a spot in the college you want. That is a good thing. Getting into a college will give you opportunities to achieve. That is a good thing. But getting into a college isn’t an achievement/accomplishment-if you are using those terms to mean roughly the same thing. This is not just a matter of semantics. I think it represents a conceptual confusion that is fueling the college admissions angst. If getting is a an accomplish than being rejected is a failure. But that is not true either. People are rejected for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes their credentials are too strong, other times they may not provide the school with what the school is looking for. And, sometimes people getting in are able to because of factors they had nothing to do with. You don’t accomplish getting into school. Graduating, from high school or college…that is an achievement. If you don’t consider getting in as an accomplishment, not getting in to the school that was your first choice is not a personal failure…it is just a fact. It is under the control of someone else and does not reflect your effort or anything else about you. It reflects the efforts of the admissions committee. So perhaps it is their accomplishment but not yours. Getting good grades and doing the things that may help you get into that college…those are the accomplishments. And they stand whether or not you get into the college you want. So congratulations for getting great grades and doing great things and good luck getting into college! (and I’d say this about getting into Harvard or Madison Community College). </p>
<p>My child is homeschooled, as in, she has never been to school; I direct almost all her studies, she has taken one course per year online, she took one standardized test in her career (the ACT) , and she got news today she was not denied at the University of Chicago. She is deferred. I am stating this for people like me who have been wondering, what about homeschoolers who have not won and national prize or founded multi-national non-profit organizations? She’s a regular kid who loves to think, to read and write poems, t play with her siblings and to watch the sun set. She did not get denied today. ;
