<p>hysterically weeping right now</p>
<p>Son accepted to Honors College! Currently his first choice, so we are very happy. If he had received a Regents Scholarship from UCSB, this would definitely be his first choice. Davis is still in the running though since he got Regents there ($7,500/year).<br>
His stats:
UW GPA 3.91, W ~4.25
SAT 2240 (790M, 780CR, 670W)
SAT II 800 Math 2, 790 APUSH, 770 Lit
AP only took three, all fives (math, english, and maybe history?) He will take 3 more end of this year.<br>
Accepted at UCSD, UC Davis (Regents), Fordham (early letter), Willamette, and a few other LACs that were great at the time and he might have gone to until the UCs came in this weekend. Still waiting on Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, U of Chicago. Denied Stanford SCEA back in December.<br>
Mediocre ECs, to be honest, but pretty good essays and recs. ELC from a very competitive Bay Area public high school.</p>
