QOTD: My kids have had excellent teachers in all phases of their schooling. No complaints, we are lucky. My son17’s favorite teacher was a Lit teacher who loved graphic novels, crazy movies, Japanese culture, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. He was a quirky, nice guy that certain kids could relate to.

Last 2 weeks of classes start today. Senior Academic awards night is tonight and we basically have to force son17 to go. I don’t know why, I though he would be into it, but for some reason he’s just not. We told him he has to go.

I had started a list to try to keep track of final decisions so I copied it into Excel and voila - thought others might find it helpful. The decisions are presented first alphabetical by name, then by school. This is just the folks who have posted on this thread and probably a few from the 3.0 to 3.4 thread, which I also follow. Sorry if I missed anyone or made an error, spelling or otherwise. Feel free to copy and add or correct, as necessary. Congrats to all!!

@jmek15 Thank you, it’s nice to see this info.

Congrats to everyone on so many great choices and successes!

32104

@jmek15 I have twins. DS17 is going to Colgate and DD17 is going to BC. Thank you for putting the list together!

32105

@jmek15 Thanks for that list. Can add D17 who will be attending Chapman, that is if we let her live after this weekend. Let’s just say that there was drinking involved and she had to be dropped off at home in a different shirt (threw up on the other one) and without shoes or car keys. Car keys have still not been found, so her car is still sitting at her friends house. Made for a great Mother’s Day.

32106

@jmek15 Oberlin, if you are going to update. Thanks!

32107

@jmek15 - S17 is going to University of Minnesota Twin Cities

32108

@jmek15 Thanks for compiling the list. One correction: UC Santa Clara should be UC Santa Cruz for curiositycat333…

32109

@TimEnchanter oh my… hopefully she learned a lesson. Better they figure this out before they go to college.

32110

@jmek15 – Would you like us to update your helpful list or would you prefer to do one update encompassing these comments?

If the former, S will be attending Yale. If the latter, I will attempt to not mess up your organized list!

32111

Thanks for doing that @jmek15 - very helpful!

32112

Thanks for compiling the list @jmek15! One small correction is my username has an E at the end: nocturne21.

32113

Thanks @jmek15 !! I like seeing where all the kids are going in one easy to read format. Wow, these kids have some fantastic opportunities ahead of them. So exciting.

32114

@jmek15 my daughter is going to UVA and my son William and Mary Thanks a bunch for this!

32115

@jmek15, Wonderful job. Thanks for doing. Michigan State, followed by Wash U and Vandy seem to have the most CC enrollments. An impressive list of colleges.

32116

@TimEnchanter --sounds like someone has your Ds back covered. I’m betting the keys are with someone who was looking out for her. Hang in there.

32117

@jmek15 - D is going to University of Oklahoma

32118

Update: Keys have been found. In a way, I am glad that it happened before she went away to college. We get to have the life lesson, and deal with it while she is still at home. Just found out about an app called OurPact that will now be going on her phone that allows parents to block all apps (Instagram, Snapchat, etc., all the one’s she really cares about), while still allowing phone calls and texts. Have to find the right currency so she actually feels the consequences.

32119

@jmek15 Thanks! My D will be attending Stanford. @TimEnchanter so sorry about the Mother’s Day unpleasantness. I would be pretty unhappy too. But I know these kids probably need to blow off steam by this time. Too bad she chose that route. But a valuable life lesson, as others have pointed out. I am so glad she made it home safely.

32120

@jmek15 My D is attending Boston University.
