@Mwfan1921 we got a deferral yesterday from AS for a couple of days because aid packet came later in the day and we need time to process the unexpected and crunch numbers. But we are/were so excited!
OMG! I got goose bumps!! I am so happy for you and your daughter! I know the numbers are scary and overwhelming but I feel its totally worth it!!! I would love to connect so our daughters can get in touch. There are Instagram groups and a private facebook group for students and parents! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!
@4sugarplums I am so, so happy for your daughter, and you! So is it MHC for sure, or has AS started to look better? Either way, I am delighted that things have worked out well. btw I live within shouting distance of MHC so if your D needs a homecooked meal or motherly attention, I’d be happy to! My D will take a gap year and start over with targeted Musical Theatre programs for next year.All good.
@MarlboroMom , aw, that is the kindest offer!! If she has to stay during t’giving/spring break because of flights, you might sure enough have a southern orphan at your doorstep! 
We have to have a family meeting tonight with the grands and crunch the numbers. Honestly, it’s been kind of a whirl since we found out and D wanted to sleep on it and she’s worked all day today. AS has been so sweet to her but I think she will choose MH in the end if the numbers look okay.
I hope y’all are also settled with the gap year decision. It was certainly looked at hard over here for a bit. But I am sorry it didn’t work out for your D this year.
I so appreciate everyone being so happy for us here! What a lovely thing!!
We’ve had kids of friends from Japan stay with us over Thanksgiving…it was great fun. One of my good friends is a MHC grad and has 2 girls about same age as ours…we usually do Thanksgiving together so it would be lovely to add your D to rthe mix.Really.
@4sugarplums hooray!!! Came back to this thread today to see what had happened and really thrilled with your news!!! Hope everything works out for your D to be at the best place for her!
Now I need to bookmark this thread to follow the plumkid saga! This is almost Lindagafian in its twists and turns…

Did any deposited students receive an email with how to set up your mount Holyoke account yet? Or do you know when we will get them? It says early May, but most schools send them automatically after you deposit…I just want to set things up!
She is now officially a Holyokian! Holyokite? Holy Moly? I dunno.
And, to all those that followed my saga over on the health insurance thread, I have messaged my Sugar Plum Fairy that I would be returning their unbelievably kind, generous gift since we no longer need health insurance at AS (and MHC’s insurance is cheaper 
) But that doesn’t diminish the fact that it will always be one of the best stories of my life just receiving it.
And I appreciate you all SO MUCH for being supportive of us in the beginning and now happy for us. That has also been a wonderful, generous gift. 
I am literally so happy I could burst.

Any news/update on the waitlist for anybody ?
Moho
Yes, really.
Congratulations!
Congrats to your D @4sugarplums! I am so happy for all of you!
Good luck to your D, @4sugarplums! My niece attended MHC and loved it. Both of my Ds were accepted, but for various reasons attended elsewhere. But we have a soft spot for it, for sure, and it is a GREAT school. Congratulations! I hope you’ll keep us up to date on how she is doing over the next four years, I for one am very interested.
@Bbates75 , I swore off facebook in December but I guess a parent group is worth getting back on for . Is it a general fb page or a page for the 2023 admits? I’m not sure what to look for - same with the IG group.
@4sugarplums can I message you on here? It’s a parent Facebook page for all MHC parents. I’m not sure about the Instagram page. I’m sure your daughter can start looking for people who are going there and try connect with them.
@Bbates75 , of course! Please do! I think I heard the kid say this morning she’s already found a student group. Not sure which platform.
Congratulations! I am so very glad to read how it all worked out. All those positive vibes must have an effect! I sure hope she gets to spend a semester in Germany, too.
I’d also wish you’d suggest to the Sugar Plum Fairy that before returning the amount you don’t need for health insurance any more, your D use a bit of the money for a really really good winter coat, one that is going to last all four years, and maybe a pair of snow pants as well. She’ll need that coat to stay healthy up north and whenever she’s wearing it she can think with pleasure and gratitude of a wonderful act of kindness!
Any news for anyone on the waitlist ?
@Prisonmike101 , my D is now on the MH accepted students fb page and she said someone new is there today and mentioned they were off the waitlist so must still be moving ?
