<p>For S1s ED school decisions were available on-line at X time and everybody logged in and checked. I had his log in and password so I could check as soon as decisions were posted. He was working and wouldn’t be able to look until later (although I did let him look on his own so he didn’t find out from me even though I found out before he did). </p>
<p>Anyway, it was plenty suspenseful. I was in my office (luckily with the door closed) and just started sobbing, basically with relief that the whole process was finally over. He had already been accepted into a rolling admit (small envelope) that he had gotten pretty excited about attending so there were some mixed feelings as well. Those were the only two schools he applied to and I was a complete basketcase. I couldn’t have gone through it a third time without a nervous breakdown.</p>
