<p>It seems the good news is already coming in, so here is the Big Thread (let's hope it is REALLY big!) where parents or students can come and share their good news and everyone can rejoice. It seems to be starting already. Congrats to all so far and keep 'em coming.......

<p>Thumper's D- The real U.S.C. (in South Carolina)</p>
<p>Curmudgeon's D- Hendrix College</p>
<p>Assuming Thumper's D or my D get another acceptance, should would we add the second (and hopefully third) to the first? Like this- </p>
<p>Curmudgeon's D-Hendrix College; Oxford; Cambridge; Bob Jones University</p>
<p>Or another format?</p>
<p>ugh, parents are sooo dorky...</p>
<p>Curmudgeon:
The single-line format above looks fine - but Bob Jones U. holding out till after Oxford & Cambridge had accepted, in your hypothetical list above? Man, they play hardball...</p>
<p>(To all comers) I'd suggest adding '$' for some financial aid, '$$' for significant aid, and '$$$' for full-tuition. This is voluntary, of course - you have a perfect right to your privacy. However, it may help other applicants and parents to know which universities have deep pockets these year, and which ones went Scrooge on us. </p>
<p>And - please - this is not to start a p___ing contest. As parents, I assume we'd all like to help one another.</p>
<p>MomofWildChild has an acceptance too - I can't remember which one.</p>
<p>Wild Child was accepted to Indiana.</p>
<p>Thumper's D - University of South Carolina</p>
<p>Curmudgeon's D - Hendrix College</p>
<p>MomofWildChild's S - Indiana</p>
<p>ThatMom's D - Tulane;Mercer University</p>
<p>My son was admitted to UVA Nov. 15th in the a.m., but it was taken away in the p.m. Yep, checked son's online status on Tuesday and celebrated an "early" early acceptance, only to find out by Tuesday afternoon that it was a computer entry error. We'll have to wait to the end of the month for the decision with everyone else. It happened to a couple of other students on the UVA board too.</p>
<p>Yankeegirl49's D-Penn State U Park</p>
<p>Marny1's D - University of Tampa</p>
<p>Congrats Marny! PM me if you need any Tampa info (the city, not the school).</p>
<p>Thanks- Audiophile. We'll be in Tampa in February to check the school out. It's 33 degrees this AM in NY. I have a feeling this school is going to look better and better to us as we progress into winter.</p>
<p>I grew up in NY and don't miss the winters at all ;). It's a chilly 63* here today, but supposed to go up to the 70s.</p>
<p>ok, do I get to celebrate after D actually FILLS OUT the first application? :) </p>
<p>My mantra for today...This too, shall pass....</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted to Humboldt State University in early October. :)</p>

<p>Cur- Thanks for the update but you left Yankeegirl and me off the list. If I knew how to add us on, I'd do it myself. I assume there's a cut/ and paste method. If not I'll retype us in a little bit later on..</p>
