Thanks so much @eandesmom !

3993

Wow @eandesmom - so many people have added their student’s results - this thread will be soooo helpful to future CCers. Fantastic job on the formatting - I do hope the color comes back -that really does make “accepted” (and waitlisted and denied) stand out. Thank you for all your hard work!

3994

I hope I didn’t miss anyone, there were a ton of additions and new school!

@CoyoteMom has a new avatar…anything you want to share? It’s super cute!

3995

And yes, I designed a new avatar…CoyoteSon and I were talking to his English teacher yesterday about a recommendation form for a scholarship application, and CoyoteSon said he had made a decision after our long discussion of the features of Carleton and Beloit, but he wanted to come up with a way to reveal it to me and DH. (Which left me and the English teacher just hanging with no new information!)

So today, as I went to get the leash to walk our dog, the Beloit envelope with the sock was on the shelf above the leash - I thought, that’s odd, and as I picked it up to move it, I saw CoyoteSon’s handwritten note on the back: “Tell Mr. Bierman that I want my other sock.” :smiley:

So I’m super glad he did it that way - gave me the walk to dissipate my (admittedly more than just slight) twinge at letting Carleton go - I loved the intellectual vibe at Carleton, and the study abroad programs led by Carleton professors, and the fact that ultimate frisbee is the big sport, the board games everywhere, and yes, the cookie house (which really is open late - there was a sign in one room asking people to refrain from.playing the piano after 11pm. Small sigh - clearly I want to go to Carleton, but I’m not going to college - been there done that!

But I have been anticipating this decision for days - CoyoteSon fits academically at Carleton, but socially, he’s not there yet. I think many many kids at Carleton are nerds at heart, but they can “pass” for mainstream whenever they wish - but my son definitely cannot (yet?) pull off a mainstream veneer. He fits in socially at Beloit, and hopefully will start to grow into some independence at a school that still has a nurturing as well as nice people vibe.

I’m doing the happy dance - because CoyoteSon has made the right choice for himself - there’s lots to love about Beloit, including a world class Anthropology department, a small computer science department (Carleton’s largest classes are all in the CS department - with most classes at 34 students, and a couple of required classes at 40 - that’s small for a University, but if you are paying a fotune because the “average class size is 18” - well then 34-40 doesn’t sound so good!), and CoyoteSon wants to be the kid who stands out to his professors by being one of the best - (thus following Malcolm Gladwell’s advice without ever even having heard of him!)

And DH and I are logically very happy to save about $35K a year -wow, can’t believe we were willing to pay $140 more for the upper rung in prestige and intellectualism $-) Yay for raising a son who is choosing the big MAC!!! (And not even for the money, but because he likes Beloit better. Thanks for letting me share the joy of this journey with all of you! :-bd

3996

@eandesmom that list is amazing!

@CoyoteMom congrats to you and CoyoteSon on making the decision! Beloit seems like such a cool place. My S never was able to make it out to visit and we are both sorry about it. I will always be a little in love with them based solely on their social media and emails. It sounds like he really thought it all through and made the perfect choice. So happy for you guys.

3997

@CoyoteMom Great news on the decision. I know it was tough.

I get this not with my son’s decisions. But when my D12 was applying to school. She applied to one school that really I liked and would have loved it attend. She did apply and didn’t get it, but one of her BF’s did and had a great time there. And it really was a much better fit for her than my D.

@endesmom Thanks for putting the list together that is a huge amount of work.

3998

Congrats to @CoyoteMom and CoyoteSon for making a fabulous choice! I LOVE the way he made his announcement. I’m so with you on that big sigh of relief knowing your kid made the right choice for him/her.

Thank you, @eandesmom , for your meticulous record-keeping of our kids’ successes and near-successes!

3999

@CoyoteMom Congratulations on raising a kid who can look past prestige to identify where he will best fit and thrive! I really think he’s going to love Beloit.

Based on @curiositycat333 and @CoyoteMom 's observations about finding OUR perfect fit school (never mind about the kids; it’s all about us) – knowing what you know from your search this your Class of 2017 (or older) kid, where would YOU, the parent, choose to attend?
