<p>Andi & Andison--huge hugs and mega-congrats from your "fan club" here in DC...we're SO thrilled for you...</p>
<p>Weighing in here from CA. Best possible news Andi and Andison. Wow. That is a LOT of money!!@!! Kudos to you Andi for learning and plowing ahead anyway. I am telling you, as I had a bad feeling about last year in advance, I have a good feeling about this year.</p>

<p>This truly is wonderful, and I know it is just the first of many. What a neat and supportive community this is. I am happy to be a part of it. I agree that this news feels very personal and I am delighted.</p>
<p>Congratulations to your son Andi. I am sure it must be a relief. Has he changed his intended major?</p>
<p>MinnesottaMom,
A hearty congratulations to your son! You must be so proud to see him achieve this accomplishment! Like Jmmom, your son's story brought heartfelt tears to my eyes. Welcome to CC!</p>
<p>Andi, I have been waiting (im)patiently for you to post the first of what is sure to be lots of good news for your son. Please extend warmest congratulations to him on that first acceptance with that phenomenal merit award. Hope you have some serious celebrating planned.</p>
<p>Edit: This was a double post because the first one didn't seem to go through, but since it did, it only goes to show that this acceptance was worthy of a double-post!</p>
