<p>Dear MartiniGirl1717,
Thanks for your kind comments. Like you, my mom thought I would come across as a solid student who really pulled herself up and would have a chance. I had been emailing the band director too, because band is serious with me, not so much in a competitive musical way, but because it lets me show my school spirit and be involved in a group that has a blast together. In his last email, their band director was excited to learn that I will switch to the tuba for this fall and said they need tubas more than anything. Ah well, too bad he didn’t tell Admissions that they needed me! </p>

<p>I don’t know where I’ll end up yet. Tomorrow Dad is taking me to see Wisconsin and Indiana. He ignored my mom’s advice to go up tonight, spend the night with relatives up there, see Wisconsin on Friday, drive to Indy where we have dear friends living, and see Indiana on either Saturday or Monday before flying home. Nice and relaxed to get a good idea what they’re like. NOT. Dad and I go tomorrow morning, see Wisconsin, drive to Bloomington, IN for the night. Saturday we see Indiana and drive back to Chicago for our return flight home. Should be very interesting to see how he copes with his self-induced stress! :wink: I may count the times he cusses! Seriously, I am thankful that he’s taking me at all, and even a small glimpse is better than nothing. How sure is your son about Tulane? My sister had a high school friend go there and right after she moved into her dorm freshman year, Hurricane Katrina hit and they evacuated. She studied at SMU in Dallas until Tulane reopened, but she liked it a lot there once she got to stay. Good luck to your son!!! Hope you enjoy your visit there on Tuesday!</p>

<p>Dear swissmiss3
So, what did u think about Wisconsin & Indiana? Did u get a good vibe at either of them?</p>

<p>MartiniGirl717,
Yes, I did like both of them, but Wisconsin is HUGE! I live in a tiny Texas town and have always gone to small schools. Wisconsin is just too big for my comfort zone. Indiana was prettier and seemed to be a little smaller. I still don’t know yet where I’ll go. How did your son like Tulane?</p>

<p>Dear Swissmiss3, My son got a good feeling @ Tulane. It is his 2nd choice and I am sure he will love it there. I will be sending them a deposit tomorrow but he still hopes he will hear something from WFU next week, when they start admitting students from the waitlist. FYI, my daughter just met 2 boys in Punta Cana (during Spring break) that go to Indiana and they told my daughter they love it there. I hope you don’t have too much trouble making up your mind in the next few days. My S still feels sort of in limbo because of the WL thing. Can’t wait till this is all over and we finally know where he will be going (for sure). Keep in touch and let me know what you decide.</p>
