<p>jmmom and jmson, A big congratulations!!!!!! I hope that your son will be at least just as happy, if not happier, at his new college home as the last! I know how happy he was and I am sorry that he needed to transfer for his major!</p>
<p>Great news. Now we can all relax for awhile. Congrats.</p>
<p>Oh jmmom, I could not be happier for you!!! Mazel Tov!</p>
<p>See you in the Alley! :)</p>
<p>Wonderful news! I'm sure he'll love JHU -- and it should be in the same time zone, right?</p>
<p> Welcome to dry land, jmmom!!!! Here's a towel and a glass of champagne. And get rid of those oars, you're not going to need them. I'm so happy for you and your son. Not only is it over, but you had great results. I'm sure you never thought, two years ago, that your son would have to change colleges due to the weather. Life is unpredictable. You two have made the best of it though -- so cheers!!

<p>andi, who knew that one day a towel, dry land and oars broken over the nearest rock would be my personal definition of nirvana? :D :D The champagne is icing on the cake.</p>
<p>Oh jmmom! This is just the BEST news! I join in the cybercelebration and am reeling just from the whiff of champagne I sense from here!</p>
<p>Yay!!! Great news on a Friday night! Can't wait to hear what he decides to do! So glad you can take a breather from the worrying, jmmom. :)</p>
<p>JmMom...congratulations to your son!
I am so happy for YOU as well. You have had one of the most rollicking college admissions situations that I know of and through it all, you truly were quite the parent! I really admire you, and of course, your son. He is the epitome of resilliance. What a ride! It seems like he can get through anything and adapt and then make the best of it. I don't wish your situation on anyone but through it all, your son has had great experiences at Bates and Tulane and is sure to "cap it off" with an education in his field at JHU, if that's where he ends up (is he past his oscillating about spending one more year at Tulane?) I think you have really endured here! I mean you have been through the whole deal three times in a short period of time to no fault of anyone's but fate. I think you qualify as expert college admissions parent at this point! I HOPE this is it...well, unless he opts to go to grad school but uh, you get a few years in between cycles this time, phew! </p>
<p>Glad it all turned out happily. He seems quite deserving and then on your end, as a mom who saw him through this twists and turns, you deserve an END to this process already! Glad it has turned out on such a high note! Yours was like the admissions process that kept on going and going and going...like the Energizer Bunny! :D
Best wishes....time for champagne.........

<p>Big Congratulations to jmmom and jmson. You both weathered this storm with great strength and I'm thrilled for your happy ending. Good luck to your S at JHU, he has fabulous opportunities ahead.</p>
<p>JM - Huge congratulations to you and your son. You have been graceful throughout this entire situation - right up until the end. Lots of luck to your wonderful son! :)</p>
<p>Great news! Congratulations, jmmom and son - JHU is awesome!</p>
<p>Congratulations, jmmom. Although, I've been hoping your son would stay at Tulane since my d starts in August and you're one if the posters I have followed for several years.</p>
<p>JMMOM:
CONGRATS!!!</p>
<p>A great school and you are DONE! </p>
<p>YEAH!!!</p>

<p>Jmmom and son,
Congratulations on the JHU acceptance! If you threw a dart at the map, I'm guessing it's geographically about mid-way between Bates and Tulane, an interesting concept. Hopefully he will find the best of everything there. He deserves it for his patience and good humor throughout the past year. You have been admired from afar as a staunch supporter of Tulane, even in it's "darkest" hour. Best wishes!</p>
<p>oh, ThatMom, what a nice sentiment. He, too, so wanted to stay - to the point where he has been talking about staying one more year and transferring as a junior. He has been that happy at Tulane and I'm sure it will be the same for your D. Today, though, when we talked about his transfer acceptances, choices, and the idea of waiting a year, he said "I guess I'll just leave." It was a sad voice and a sad moment. </p>
<p>But the future is bright. Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes and the reminder that, yes, I am DONE!</p>
<p>Hearty congrats, jmmom -- to your son for the wonderful resolution of his tempestuous (through no fault of his own!) year, and to you for your unfailing graciousness in handling the multiple challenges of this year - first a relocation, followed by a transfer app process.</p>
<p>I think we should come up with some sort of CC medal for posters such as you and Andi, who have so valiantly sailed through some challenging waters! (hurricane pun not intended!)</p>
<p>is anyone here going international like my self???</p>
<p>Anyone UK and or Warwick University?</p>
<p>Jmmom and son - You have shown amazing stamina and grace through a most difficult time. My heartiest congrats to you both.</p>
<p>Jmmom..what a wonderful opportunity for your resiliant and engaging son! And I noticed that JHU had a surge of applicants this year..amazing. (My youngest will be there in the HS program this summer and we visit Baltimore often!) I have lots of easy great "day trips" for parents in mind for you after you get him settled should you want to explore the Chesapeake region.<br>
I bet you are tuckered out from embracing Maine unexpectedly after the New Orleans flood and then returning to be part of Tulane again.</p>
<p>We have all so enjoyed your humor while avidly following your son's journey. Keep us posted! He is special to readers here.</p>
