<p>Time for a bump!</p>

<p>Alumother,
Sorry I took so long to reply. What clinched our decision on Princeton was the April 14 – 16 Prefrosh Program. My D has attended quite a few college overnight programs, but the Princeton ‘s program solidified her decision. During her stay she was able to attend classes, clubs (her roommate sang in the choir at an arch sing), and eat in the dining halls - etc. which gave her the insight to the basic college academic experience. But, I think it the main factor was the people she met, the Professors were very approachable, the one professor can over and introduced himself to us when we arrived at his class. The Princeton students she roomed with for those couple of nights felt like old friends by the time she left. The “admitted students” she meet were her intellectual and social peers. Compared to her other overnight experiences Princeton won hands down.</p>

<p>Come on lurkers, let's get some posting on non-namebrand schools.</p>

127

<p>momofthree, has your S made a decision yet? With such fine opportunities, I know it must be tough. I'm sending good vibes your way. :)</p>

128

<p>Splashmom, Thanks for the vibes, but . . . </p>

<p>Sadly, NOOO! He loved his trip to Brown, but it is really almost impossible for him to decide to turn down any school as he really liked the other places so much as well. He really had no idea (nor did I) that he would have these choices, and he really was careful to pick a bunch of schools he would love to attend. Then the President of Rhodes actually called last night . . .of course DS was at rehearsal. Yikes. He was so nice; he wasn't trying to press for an answer, said he just was calling a few students to say hello, hope you will come to Rhodes. Rhodes really does have all he would need in the majors he might pursue. The decision is hard even to address as high school presses hard, with 2-day soccer trips, major projects . . etc. . .. can't even begin to guess when he will choose. Thanks, though, for asking! Prayers and vibes are great, I appreciate them so much!</p>

<p>OK, lalady, here's a posting for a non-namebrand school (at least to anyone outside the art & design world):</p>
