Congrats to all the new Grffins! So excited for you. We have another week to wait for our top choices to announce. I laughed so hard at your son not knowing how to access the portal- I’ve got one just like that! So excited - we are really in the thick of it now! Wishing all some good vibes while we wait for more decisions!

Thanks for the overwhelming support from everyone! Your day will come! I’ll certainly stick around to congratulate each of you in the coming months.
Ice cream cake has been eaten and swag has been ordered! Now just trying to believe it’s true. D is trying Her best to somehow focus on getting her math homework done!
D getting into her dream school is,of course the best part. But not having to slog through more essays is a close second. She feels liberated! There will be no looking back or regrets, I think.
@3SailAway, @MOMom3XYs, so excited to be entering this new adventure with you

Lol, @sushrito, I was trying to be a little mysterious with that Griffin reference! Thanks for taking the time to look it up!
I read tonight that W&M’s griffin (the body of a lion, with the head of an eagle) references the lion of the coat of arms of the British King William and Queen Mary, while the eagle…need I say more? Also, the lion body symbolizes strength/athleticism and the eagle keen vision/intellectualism of the ideal W&M student. Hah!

Thanks everyone for all the lovely congrats messages and for being here for me so that I didn’t drive D21 crazy over a million college questions and worries for a year and a half!
I stressed about everything from a lack of Calculus, to a B+ in AP Euro, to lopsided SAT scores (verbal much stronger than math). I worried when she wasn’t sure about ED still, and it was OCTOBER and we had to visit three schools despite the pandemic. There was always a supportive and helpful outlook here. I’m looking forward to cheering for everyone straight through to the final stretch in March and beyond.
