<p>Just needing a "space" to anonymously vent/be concerned for my kid. He has a couple of decisions that will be available in the morning at 10:00 am. Best case scenario it's a 50/50. He just needs some good news right now. College Board was so impressed with him they sent him vouchers for his application fees, but he was flat our denied at his 1st choice (UNC-CH; we are in-state). Thanks for letting me put this in cyberspace--along with my prayers that he gets at least one acceptance from these highly selective institutions. So far, his only acceptance is from his "fall back" school - I hope he at least has a "choice" when all is said and done. We hear from Davidson and Boston University tomorrow. Thanks again, mamas and daddies! </p>
<p>Fingers crossed for him!</p>
<p>@mtnprotracy - It is a stressful time. I can understand you being nervous. I’m sorry to hear about UNC. One thing I’ve learned from the countless stories on CC is that kids are pretty resilient and most end up loving the school they attend even if it isn’t their first (or 2nd, or 3rd… ) choice. The Parents of the Class of 2014 thread is very active and supportive if you want to join us over there. Some have acceptances in hand and have made decisions, others are weighing options, some consoling their children, and many are holding their breath this week awaiting tough decisions. I wish you luck this morning!!</p>
<p>This brought up all the emotions of D1’s college notifications. I was on a business trip when D1 received most of college notifications. It was a complete shut out for her. She had only one more top choice to come in the next day. After comforting her and finally helped her to fall asleep, I stayed up all night. I don’t think I ever crossed my fingers so tight. Next morning, that one acceptance came in. She had a happy ending, few other schools where she was wait listed at took her off their wait list later, so she ended up having few more options.</p>
<p>Good luck OP. Hope all goes well.</p>
<p>Best of luck to him! Sending positive vibes your way. Please let us know how he makes out. </p>
<p>Hugs to you…I completely understand…and you have to be the parent and not show your nervousness/sadness in front of your kid…and its really hard when a kid has put his all into it. </p>
<p>We are here for you. </p>
<p>Hope you have good news to share soon.</p>
<p>Got rejected by UT Austin! I wasn’t sad about it much, since I couldn’t afford it anyway! But I hope your son gets in! Best of luck to you and your son! Fingers crossed</p>
<p>Fingers and toes crossed, this is just so hard. </p>
