<p>Finally!- (sigh of relief) D received her first choice of $5K Study Abroad and today received her third choice of First Year Fellows. Both came in the mail. I have to say that I am a bit baffled why she didn’t get Honors though but I guess that isn’t such a big deal as she can apply later and is still able to take the classes (another thread said that they never fill up). </p>
<p>She will be honored to know that she is one of only 40 to be offered the Study Abroad (thanks for the link as I didn’t know that either). Finding out that they offered the 9 Opps letter to 1000 students kind of took away the specialness of it especially since she had to wait so long to hear anything. It was worth the wait though! The Study Abroad opportunity is something special that she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do otherwise.</p>
