<p>What will you be doing on that day? </p>
<p>Since this is our second round and knowing that thing will work out, we are dealing with the waiting much much better. Whatever it turns out, we should be o.k.</p>
<p>I guess it is the super reach day for most of the families. Best of luck to you all.</p>
<p>I am planning on leaving work a few minutes early so I can be with D for the results, good or bad. Cornell is our reach</p>
<p>I wish they would bump it up a week. :(</p>
<p>^^ I agree, abasket!</p>
<p>I wonder if anyone has ever run a message thread on who is actually more nervous with this waiting - parents or kids? </p>
<p>Our son seems outwardly loose as a goose, though I think there’s some internal angst going on. Me, I’m sure there’s some vicarious stuff going on, I’m completely on-edge waiting to find out if there are more acceptances on the way. He is waiting to find out from five schools, any one of which will be a wonderful place to attend. But I do feel sort of silly being this caught up in the process.</p>
<p>It’s funny. S is completely oblivious until I mention something. This is a good thing for me to know. He doesn’t need me to wind him up. He is confident that he did his best and that the admissions offices will do their best. </p>
<p>He is also confident that he is a smart kid and that something will work out. I am hoping this means we did our jobs as parents to make him a happy, independent thinker. </p>
<p>So, I’m not so worried about admissions as I am financial aid. Can we afford wherever he lands? Stay tuned. . .</p>
<p>My recommendation: do not be out grocery shopping while you child receives the news. We were expecting the news on April 1st last year. On March 31st, I was at Costco when I received a text from my dd that she had been accepted at a reach school. I ran into a woman I knew and without thinking, I told her the happy news. </p>
<p>When I got home, my dd wanted to know how everyone already knew before she told them! This Mom got home from Costco before me, told her son, who then congratulated my dd on Facebook and then every one of her friends knew!</p>
<p>Fortunately, my dd is pretty easy-going about stuff like that, but she still teases sometimes about the speed of the mom-network.</p>
<p>Dad II…what will YOU be doing? On another thread you already talked about a school that gave your son a financial aid offer that was close to being good. Sounds like he has at least that acceptance (and his state school) in hand. Are there others pending?</p>
<p>Here’s hoping that everyone gets at least one piece of terrific news by April 1.</p>
<p>I will be working on that day. </p>
<p>As I said, there will probably nothing special in our house with whatever news. Whatever it is, it is.</p>
<p>I’ll be enjoying my day, waiting for the Yale decision…</p>
<p>I already got into my first choice, i’m just curious how Yale feels about me</p>
<p>okay…same here …s appears to just being going about his daily high school life…I think he also feels as though he did his best, sent in some additional info that he felt was missing but VERY important…and is going about his business…
I must admit I frequently find myself thinking about this acceptance waiting and thus here I am on CC just seeing how other parents are handling the wait…
Hope all our s and d get what is best for them in the long run…</p>
<p>D and I will be busy at school and work respectively, waiting to hear from her third and last school. She’s already been accepted at two of her choices. We’re more anxious to get the official FA packages at this point. </p>
<p>Good luck to all still waiting on admissions decisions!</p>
<p>April 1st is the last day of school before Spring Break here and the kids will have 10 days off. I think the whole post April 1st angst/drama will be diminished this year here (not in my house, but at school) since the kids won’t see each other & the sting/rush of decisions will have diminished. But there’s still Facebook…</p>
<p>All decisions should be received in my house by this Saturday, so April 1st will be a regular day for us. But I’ll be on CC hoping that all my cyber friends are getting the results they’re hoping for ;)</p>

<p>Dad II…YOU are not going to college next year…your son is. Are you really counting down the days?</p>
<p>I’ll be curious to see what Columbia says, and will courteously accept my rejection from Princeton with no regrets 
If they’re both a no, I will happily move on; I already have choices I’m happy with and except to have at least 1 or 2 more by that time.</p>
<p>Heck I’m counting the days! Both D and I are anxious to finalize all college decisions. I’ve had two older children go to college but with them, everything was basically set way before this time of year. Youngest D had many more choices due to her excellent stats so that involves more waiting!</p>
<p>Dad II is certainly not the only parent counting the days, check out the Parents of 2010 thread 
For me, besides wanting good things for my daughter, I want to know what types of visit plans I need to pull together in the next month!!</p>
<p>Now, my younger D2 is counting the days until move out in Aug/Sept!</p>
