<p>UVa is a wonderful place with wonderful kids! Is any county prettier than Albemarle?<br>
We know a fellow playing Golf for Elon and loving every minute. He has met very fine students there and the weather is great.</p>
<p>I'm so happy to see the growing list of acceptances here. EVERY acceptance is worth celebrating because NO school is a "sure thing" until you're holding that letter in your hand. :)</p>
<p>I am looking forward to reading more ED results soon. Best of luck to everyone's children (and to the kids that read this board!).</p>
<p>Wishing everyone the VERY BEST with the upcoming ED results. I'm almost outta here for a few days, as I am going to Florida with my mom to help her set up her apartment for the season. We're leaving just in time as I hear there may be snow in NY by Monday. (U Tampa is looking better and better). Good Luck to All!!</p>
<p>I am happy to read about the acceptances. My son got his acceptance from Tulane a couple weeks ago and he was SO HAPPY to get that first one! He applied to 8 colleges, but Tulane is very high on his list, if he gets any kind of a scholarship there. He just mailed his app for the Deans Honor Scholarship and we have our fingers crossed. :)</p>
<p>I am sure everybody else is just as anxious as we are!</p>
<p>Best wishes to all.</p>
<p>gnu - welcome back and congratulations on Tulane. Perhaps he will meet the inimitable jmmom's son there next fall.</p>
<p>...and ctymomteacher's S and NewHope33's D and Mambowme's D and Curioser's S and concerneddad's S and geena's D and stoic's D and jamismom's S and wish<em>it</em>was_April's S and pokey's kid and... and... and... Congrats!</p>
<p>Alumother and jmmom,</p>
<p>My son wil be in great company. :)</p>
<p>OMG Parents I was accepted to Ohio Northern today after applying in mid-October! I am so excited! No matter I am going somewhere next year! I'm not going to be a bum! I'm going to college!</p>
<p>yeah, celebrian. Nice going!</p>
<p>My D received her acceptance to Hiram - actually she got an email from her admission's counseler. It is definitely her first choice. We have visited 3x and she did an overnight. I was very impressed. I hope that we can put together financial aid package to make it possible. D has a significant chronic illness that limits her ability to walk etc - their disabilities person was amazing. D has also been accepted at Ohio University - her second choice ( they also have a great disabilities program.) She's only applying to 2 colleges. The dean of the Honor's Tutoral Collge at OU called her to encouraged her to apply but I don't think anything could get she to write an essay at this point.
Congratulations to everyone!!!

<p>janie - congrats on two great acceptances. How wonderful for her to find and be accepted to two colleges with just the support programs she needs. Fingers crossed for the aid package. And maybe she'll be flattered and excited enough to do the Honors Tutorial college. Digmedia's S is doing that (I think) in a very specialized program and he is very, very high on it.</p>
<p>Celebrian:</p>
<p>Good going! I have faith you will get more acceptances later, but isn't it nice to have one under your belt? Congrats!</p>
<p>You mean a school YOU have not heard of? I'm glad you recognize that you are "no one."</p>
<p>Hahaha clever but I'm simply stating that most people have never heard of that school. I mean honestly, have you ever heard of it prior to reading his post...?</p>
<p>My daughter just received "the envelope" from the University of Redlands! She's in. Yay!!!</p>
<p>Carolyn:</p>
<p>It gets better and better all the time. Congrats to your D!</p>
<p>Thanks Marite. She really liked Redlands' Johnston Center for Integrative Studies, a living-learning program where students develop their own curriculum, down to contracting with teachers about reading and projects they'll do in classes. She already has an idea in mind for a concentration in the Johnston Center, combining her interests in history and studio art. Plus, Redlands is the only school she's applied to within driving distance of home --- and recently she's expressed some doubts about going far from home. So, it was happy news in our house today.</p>
<p>A nice touch was the admissions rep she interviewed with handwrote a personalized note to D. on the bottom of the letter about how much the admissions committee had enjoyed reading her essay. That made her day!</p>
<p>Celebrian, I am so excited for you --- and, like Marite, I have absolutely no doubts that this is only the first of many for you!!! Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations, Celebrian!. That's awesome news! Keep up the great work! :)</p>
<p>Great news for your DD, and for you, Carolyn! It sounds like she will be very happy there at the University of Redlands! </p>
<p>DD is still awaiting her envelopes. One should arrive any day (keeping our fingers crossed it's an acceptance) and the other should arrive mid-January. Good luck, all! :)</p>
<p>"My daughter just received "the envelope" from the University of Redlands! She's in. Yay!!!"</p>
<p>ROFLMFAO....</p>
<p>I already posted DD acceptances but today she got a full tuition scholarship to Ohio University - HOORAH!!!! A guarantee that she can afford to go somewhere!!!!!!! Wow - I started crying!!!!
Also both Hiram and OU have sent her a credit eval - she is taking all college courses for her junior and senior years of HS. (On line because of health problems, but paid for by her HS for dual credit) - both schools are accepting all the credits (32 so far, about 50-55 by graduation. Wow, I can't believe it
