He has been accepted to Northwestern, and totally amazing university. He needs to pay the deposit immediately and not miss the chance. He said no to Brown, so forget it, that is not happening. Hoping to get off ANY waitlist is like hoping to win the lottery, twice. It porbably will NOT happen. He is a lucky young man and will do great things at Northwestern. I am not sure if you realize how incredible it is that he got into tow such wonderful colleges. Please don’t worry any more. The amount of money shoudl easily be earned by working during the summer, or ha cna apply for scholarships. Congratulations to him, and please do not worry about the weather, millions of people seem to survive each winter in Illinois. Good luck to him!
