<p>Curmudgeon--That's great news! Congratulations on Scripps!</p>
<p>You have some exciting choices to mull over! Wow, Yale in the mix, too. Amazing. Very happy for your D and for you.</p>
<p>Celebrating DD #2 acceptances, but the next few weeks of decision making will be SOOO hard (some angst that I will share on another thread so as not to clutter this one):</p>
<p>PSU Schreyer - full ride w/ engineering scholarship
UDel Honors - full ride as duPont scholar, plus books & $2,500 study abroad grant
Carnegie Mellon - 1/2 tuition
UMich Engineering - very little aid, daughter's reponse "Good game, Michigan, thanks for playing".
Cornell - accepted but still waiting on aid notification
Princeton - accepted found out today - perhaps affordable for the first two years, but could skyrocket after D#1 graduates, leaving Signficant shortfall for jr & sr year.</p>
<p>Ohmother, Wow, Princeton! Your family has some interesting choices to make too! Congratulations!</p>
<p>OhMother -- I guess one advantage that I have being on the financially-needy end of things is that the financial aid awards have a way of making the choice for us. So for my daughter, it looks like NYU at $30K vs. Barnard at $16K. (As a parent, my financial stretched-to-the-limit cut off is around $20K)</p>
<p>
calmom, want me to take a swing at that for you? I think even I can hit that tater out of the park.</p>
<p>I would love to say I have a daughter at Princeton, but I don't think that statement is worth $50,000 of debt (OK, so I'm expressing the angst here). PSU has a great engineering program, but what if she changes her mind, UDel duPont would allow her to explore without that worry. I need a TUMS......</p>
<p>OhMother - start a Princeton or PSU thread. There are several of us Princeton parents here, I'm also an alum.</p>
<p>My sincere congratulations to all those who had such positive results in this RD round. My hat is off to Marite, imiracle911, Curmudgeon, Mum2boys, twinmom, menloparkmom, and many others listed on this thread. I have already offered my congrats to quiltguru in private. You have some wonderful choices.</p>
<p>add NYU, </p>
<p>List:
American with scholarship
Ga Tech with scholarship(HOPE)
UGA with scholarship(Hope)
Wisc - Madison
NYU</p>
<p>Havent heard from:
Umich(legacy)</p>
<p>Probably will take the American scholarship since im doing IR. NYU screwed me over with aid. Stupid 60 K EFC!</p>
<p>If you have a 60K EFC, NYU did not screw you over. You should count it a blessing that your parents have the income/assets to send you to any school that you have been admitted.</p>
<p>So many wonderful acceptances!</p>
<p>Quiltguru, so proud to hear about your DD's acceptance to Harvard!</p>
<p>Three<em>to</em>Go's Son: Virginia Tech and U of MD at College Park :-)</p>
<p>Hi all--if you have a minute, could some of the wise people from this thread please give some good advice to a poster named theripcurl1969 on a thread called "student in need of help" posted in the parents forum today? This kid posted his issue on a page for the HS seniors, got mostly useless responses. I advised him he'd get more useful responses at the parents forum so he started a thread here, if you have time to help him out am sure he'd appreciate it.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance...</p>

<p>Welcome to the parent's forum</p>
<p>Congratulations to you such and impressive list of schools and they did a really great job in showing you the love. Now comes the hard part- choosing one. Enjoy the visits, take everything in and let us know your final decision</p>
<p>so far i've been accepted to every school i applied (other than deferred early, which i haven't hear from). sweet!</p>
<p>D's top choices are Cornell (fellowship), UVa and Tufts to study government & IR; also American (w/tuition). Waitlisted P'ton & Georgetown (ouch) and no's from HYUpenn (ouch ouch). I know she's in good company for the rejections but it still smarts as she, liked all of these kids, worked so hard. Do any of you experienced CC'ers know of anybody who ever got in off a waitlist and if there's anything that can be done to help move her app to the top (if there is a top)?</p>
<p>cosmopolitan, this</a> link and this</a> post may be helpful for you. :)</p>
<p>Cosmopolitan:
Not sure if this will help any, but D2 got accepted off CalTech's wait-list two years ago. She did absolutely nothing to indicate increased interest after the initial letter. By the time the acceptance letter arrived, she had already decided to attend another great university, so the CalTech acceptance served primarily to soothe ruffled parental egos ("How DARE they turn my child down!" :) ) .</p>
<p>Thanks for your guidance, all of you experienced CC parents. I'm sure this process for #2 daughter will go more smoothly!?!</p>
