<p>I'm also wishing you well!</p>
<p>Me too, Andi and Andison!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Good vibes being transmitted! (I know I've never posted in this section before, but sending good vibes = major plus)</p>
<p>goooood luckkkkkkk!!!!!!! i check back here like everyday and my heart stops for a sec when i think there might be news!! (good news i hope!!)</p>
<p>Thanks so much!!!! I'm sure this letter isn't going to bring the news he'd like to hear because I think they would have told him over the telephone, but maybe it will at least keep his hopes alive. </p>
<p>Any other wait list hangers-on hear yet???</p>
<p>andi- I really am pulling for your son as well, especially at Swarthmore. It would be great to add another smart, talented student into our already amazing class of 2009.</p>
<p>By the way, if for some reason everything does fail, I have some ideas for interim year possibilities considering I have many friends who are taking next year off.</p>
<p>Visiting this thread for the andicheck.... If wishes were horses...</p>
<p>no letter today........</p>
<p>Oh, Andi...this has to be so hard for you and your S...we're with you all the way...maybe we should all email en masse to Swert's ad coms??? (Or apply to BE their adcoms...that would get your S in for sure!)...</p>
<p>Don't mean to joke; know this just has to be "exquisite agony" for you...we'll redouble the prayers/psychic vibes/positive energy flow...</p>
<p>My D hasn't heard anything either. We're hoping you get some good news. You and he are clearly energetic, thoughtful and passionate about your concerns, so I know that things will work out in the long run, no matter what happens right now. All the best to you.</p>
<p>Thanks richfrank. I hope you'll keep us posted about what your d hears. </p>
<p>Today was the worst day since the 'night of rejections' in March. With schoolwork and graduation festivities suddenly done and summer activities not yet started-- andison had a little too much time to think & process what happened. Not good. He's been incredible throughout all this but a little down time can be a dangerous thing. It's hard to move on with enthusiasm when you're still holding out even the teeniest thread of hope.</p>
<p>Poor little guy. Don't get me wrong, I am sure he's a big guy. But for us moms they are always our little guys aren't they. It's odd, I actually find myself thinking that this process andison has gone through is more valuable to him even if there is no good news from Swat than many many many others who fell into HYPSMSWA etc. without knowing what they have or why. Sure that doesn't help, but we're thinking of you and I hope that does.</p>
<p><em>lol</em> you're right, he's not so little, skinny maybe, but not little. </p>
<p>Hopefully what he takes with him from this experience will be character building lessons and not cynicism. But I do think there is value in having a year away from 'schooling' before starting college- even for someone who loves academics. </p>
<p>These "dates" set by the schools- the 15th for example- just keep you on this rollercoaster.</p>
<p>OMG overanxiousmom sorry! I got the threads mixed up. Brought up your
e-mailing idea on the other one! :confused: I've had a lot of fun imagining that happening. Kept this simple mind out of trouble for a few hours.</p>
<p>aaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! They must have sent it pony express! All the mail carrier brought was junk mail. :eek:</p>
<p>What about your D, richfrank?? Perhaps you live closer to PA??</p>
<p>Aaaargh indeed. I'm trying to think what I would do in your place to forget. Go get a pedicure probably, but that wouldn't really work for andison...</p>
<p>No word by any route. I'll post as soon as we hear, if we do. Best wishes.</p>
