Really hoping someone here goes to ASC so I can live vicariously! I just adore that school.

Itās been a while. Since last post, Willamette sent a scarf and decent merit, Eckerd sent a personalized video (āD nameā drawn in sand) and decent merit, Oregon State sent congratulations. All good news thus far. For the EA schools, waiting on Puget Sound, Redlands, and U of Miami.

Congrats to 1822D! My D22 still has not checked portals that I know of. Definitely havenāt gotten anything in the mail yet. All the college mail has dried up. I think ASC might be 3rd on her list (not sure). She did like it, but I think she wants to be in the mountains. I loved seeing it. Such a great school.
@UCDProf , I wish you luck in your quest. It is hard paying for two at the same time! We kinda got lucky in a weird way on that. My oldest (HS class of 2019) did not want to go to college after high school. Went to community college this past semester and thought it was okay. My oldest is both super-independent and super not (lives at home, but doesnāt want us to offer too many suggestions). Good kid. Hard worker (has a job), but wants to do it their way. But the upshot of that is we may not have to pay full price for two in a 4 year college at once. Weāll see how that works out.

YAY!! hoping the Agnes letter arrives later for Californians.
Any sense of her reaction?
Still the Coach texted her yesterday saying the decision is coming and the coaches know what the decision is and wouldnāt say anything if it was negative.
But does it come with info on merits, or, not holding my breath, need based aid?
Iām sure Agnes Scott has a very large portion of young women for whom an acceptance without cost of attendance is meaningless.

Well everybody gets the Agnes Assurance $22k, but this was just an acceptance in the snailmail and no mention of money. I still donāt know if sheās checked the portal. Sheās being a little āmom, get off my backā right now.

Hi there, 19 & 23 parent here, delurking to say Iām not sure why you think WVU doesnāt have greek life - it does.
Or maybe I misread and she doesnāt want greek life?
Officially the social media says notification is tomorrow, so maybe thereās more in the portal tomorrow!

Maybe so. BTW, can you or @1822mom confirm that there is, in fact, a portal? D22 was just saying, āI donāt think they sent me a link to a portal.ā I feel sure there is one and sheās just lost the email.
me too I love ASC!!
My daughter is a sort of culture warrior type (of the good kind) in terms of values (not so much in terms of action), as are most CA kids, and sheās got a practical, internshippy how will I get a job streak, so I think ASC is perfect for her.
Well, I think we have got 3 shots at vicariously living through an ASC experience here.

We tried to access the portal through the original email but that link didnāt work. So I googled it and got in that way, but we had already set up a password.
Youāll need the code to set it up the first time which is in the original email subject:
Thanks for your Agnes Scott application! Portal login information enclosed.

Did she look at Meredith?
Thanks @UCDProf. Iāll see if I can get her to search on that subject. She still is holding out for Warren Wilson so not that focused on the other schools.
@1dadinNC, my sister went to Meredith, but my D22 is not really interested. Sheās looking for more funky.
Iām sure WW is going to work out for her!
My kids will also apply there.

So glad the package from ASC made it to you @Sweetgum Iām sure itāll make itās way to CA shortly @UCDProf I am also a card carrying member of the ASC fan club since way back when my D18 applied. But so far itās charms do not seem to appeal to my girls beyond applyingš¤·

Iām sure WWC will accept her too. She didnāt apply to any reaches. Agnes Scott was the reachiest.
WWC is very funky and different and it just felt right to her. Their slogan used to be āWeāre not for everyoneā¦ but then, maybe youāre not everyone.ā

Look at Appalachian State.
Great school spirit and the total estimated cost OSS is around $31,000 and a lot of kids get a little merit or other aid. Beautiful campus.
Good luck with the others. I think she will get in UNH, but not sure on the merit. We are the opposite - my southern daughter wanted to go north. She is loving UNH.
