<p>Pennsylvania.
My son got his packet on Monday. Accepted as undeclared, he wanted sport management. Apparently a very competitive major. He'll be going to Temple, which accepted him into his desired major. Both programs are outstanding, Temple boasts of 100 percent job placement at graduation. In-state school, will be $10,000 less expensive a year for mom and dad.
GPA 3.4, SAT 1040/1580, 135-470. He's had a total of two Honors classes, no APs. Perhaps his high school is well-regarded, I'm not sure about that.</p>
<p>"can i just ask if anyone else finds it annoying when you get into your 2nd choice, and have yet to hear from your TOP choice, but keep getting safety schools acceptances in the mail?</p>
<p>it's annoying cuz u don't care about the safeties after u got into a good school, but ur still anxious to hear from your TOP</p>
<p>at least... this is my predicament"</p>
<p>I think my D is so confused at this point she has no idea what her top choice is anymore!! She is on at her 2 safety schools...waiting on 3 more and she has just decided to apply to Purdue! My head hurts.</p>
<p>hahaha- i hear that. applying is definitely not the most efficient or easy thing to do... I'll probably end up applying to more schools if I don't get into my top</p>
<p>still haven't gotten a decision or a conformation letter, but when I e-mailed they said I had all required materials, my application had already been reviewed and i'd hear by the 31st.</p>
<p>^^ when did you apply? D still waiting.</p>

<p>First, I have overcome more learning challenges compared to the average student. For example, during my freshman year of high school I was assigned to attend a learning center class three days a week because teachers determined that extra help with my homework and test-taking skills would be a benefit to me. By the end of my freshman year, however, a reevaluation revealed that I no longer required extra assistance. My diligence and sustained efforts to adopt the learning centers problem solving strategies were successful and provided me with the valuable tools necessary to apply towards my studies. This just proves that when I encounter any difficult tasks, my hard work and determination will help me achieve concrete results.
Second, during my junior year, I faced certain medical challenges that impacted my academic life and temporarily deterred me from maximizing my potential both as a student and as an athlete. In October of 2007, my cardiologist advised me to cease all physical activity until </p>
<p>further notice because I had an abnormally enlarged heart and was diagnosed with pre-hypertension. As a result, I was not able to complete the cross-country season and was restricted to homebound activities. This was a difficult time for me. Nonetheless, my resilience and optimism helped me
maintain a positive outlook about my condition. For example, I focused my energy on other things including schoolwork and improving my second quarter grades. In March, my doctor gave the clearance allowing me to once again participate in physical activity. Despite having only a short amount of time to prepare for my cross-country season, I was able to improve my running timesa feat that I achieved exclusively through dedication and determination since I was committed to putting in extra time at the track to get myself back into shape. Although during my junior year I was dealing with the added stress placed on me by my unexpected medical crises, I remained hopeful and was able to stay focused towards my academic goals. After being cleared to run, I pursued my running goals with the same vigor as I demonstrated in the classroom. My secrets to overcoming any challenge, whether it was big or small, have been my focus, commitment and hard work.</p>
