Uh, now we know you have access to the school. Put the mission impossible music back on.
Unrelated, I can confirm the Selection Index for becoming a “member” from junior member is 300 posts.
Well @2201david congrats to your kid and I’m so grateful that you provided the best news I’ve had all day!
The real news is that TX didn’t increase more than a point. Highly doubt it went down. That narrows that range to 220-221, realistically. This is unofficial, however. But kinda good to know in advance.
@JBStillFlying, the real news for me and for @3scoutsmom is that our kids made it!
Thanks. BTW I’m a UTD grad. Finished an MBA in 2000
Oh. My. GOSH!! @KShomeschoolmom I LOVE YOU!! @suzy100 THANK YOU for the PM because it alerted me via home email that something was up over here! And HELLO to @PAMom21 - YES, I am here and will be here for the long haul (hopefully) because I have a kid in 3rd grade!
Holy Toledo, DS is a NMSF! I am so happy!! Congratulations to everyone getting good news - and congratulations are indeed in order to any Commended Scholars because that IS awesome.
@collegework THANK YOU for that report from MO! DH is home this afternoon and one of his coworkers has been anxious to know the MO cut-off. Her DS made it, too! He texted her the good news just now. Yay!
Gee, I don’t even know how to feel at this moment because this was much less stressful than last time. Mostly, I’m grateful. This is a BIG deal to our family because money 
I’m going to sit on this news until DS is alerted at school. I’ll let him “surprise” us with the news at home.
And Jimmie at NMSC…if you’re still out there…I LOVE YOU, too!!
@traveler98 my hearty congrats to you and the CC posters from TX whose kids made it. Y’all needed some good news (and I can say “y’all” as TX happens to be my home state).
@2201david, well I like you even more now! My S is going to study CS at UTD.
Congrats on your CC promotion DavidPuddy !!
@2201david my son will be going to UTD too. @traveler98 we really ought to get together irl sometime! This is a happy day!!!
Congrats to all the Texas NMSFs! Now to convince D to go to UA, UNM, Ole Miss…
So what is the deal with this Jimmie the intern at NMSC? When was he there, and did he leak some info or what?!
Jimmie had access not only to every cut score but also every name of every SF. This was two years ago.
Ack!! I just looked up delivery estimates for Standard (bulk) mail. Portions of SoCal are in the same window as parts of Texas.
So… So… breathes into bag So CA could possibly hear today.
runs off to email GC!
re: #1072 - Oops - wait that was someone else. Jimmie might have been beforehand. Can’t recall the name from two years ago but it wasn’t an intern. It was a mysterious poster who had maybe two or three posts. Thing was, he/she had real info. because CC posters messaged and got the names of their kids.
Update: Every cut-score was accurate as well.
And the good news keeps rolling in…just got an email from the building manager at our apartment which borders Buffalo Bayou near downtown Houston. The building has not flooded and even with the draining of the Addicks and Barker reservoirs (which both feed into Buffalo Bayou) the building doesn’t appear to be in any danger at this time. The residents who are still in the building are even planning a game night in the common area tonight, and have already organized a collection of aid items for the evacuees at the GRB Convention Center. Off topic for this thread I know, but I’m just feeling really grateful right now.
@3scoutsmom; @traveler98 - D18 is a possible addition to the UTD crew. She’s a practical kid & really likes the bribe I threw out there a few weeks back (where I said she’d likely get her graduate degree with zero debt if she goes the NM route).
Now if she gets into Stanford or something, things could change & that’s all good as well. She did say that if she got McDermott she’d take it over any other choices. Long shot for sure, but this is all just adding to the excitement!!
Any news from Ohio? I am really hoping it doesn’t go up by 2 points as predicted (from 217 to 219) because my son has a 218! Right on the bubble! Anxious for OH results…
Well, @collegework, Jimmie (the NMSC Intern) first appeared on CC in the equivalent of this thread for the Class of 2015. Does he really exist? Kinda like Santa, it’s up to each of us to decide…
