<p>Shauna, I think your wonderful news deserves its own thread! Those of us who have benefitted from your info and shared your ups and downs can now express our joy for your admittance. </p>
<p>(Note to Others: see happy acceptance thread! post of Shauna's)</p>
<p>I'm laughing NYTheatermom because I just went to start Shauna's OWN thread so we can shout it from the rooftops and then lo and behold, you beat me to it! Yay! </p>
<p>Yep, everyone go read Shauna's post on the Happy College Acceptances thread. </p>
<p>To those who don't know, Shauna went through the college audition process last year for BFA programs and did not get the outcome she had hoped for and worked hard for but spent a year at U of North Texas (hope I got the name right) in a related training program and tried again for a couple BFA programs this year and got into what I think was her first choice....OCU! Also, if you don't know, Shauna did most of this on her own (her mom was no on CC, he he) and she is also the loveliest young lady who created the FAQ page to help the myriad of new posters who come to this wonderful resource on College Confidential. She was due and this is a HAPPY day! </p>

<p>SHAUNA!!!</p>
<p>Aren't you the living breathing walking example of R-E-S-I-L-I-A-N-C-E
You go girl!! A big, big congratulations!! MT CC absolutely needed this kind of news!! :)</p>
<p>SUE aka 5pants</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, I get my own thread! Wow. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to everyone. I am still pretty much in shock; I absolutely cannot believe it. Yes, Susan, OCU was and has been my first choice.</p>
<p>Thank you so much, everyone. You all are so wonderful. (Oh lord, I'm starting to sound like Barney!)</p>
<p>Had to double post this when I saw you have your own thread......</p>

<p>Shauna,</p>
<p>You have to know how many CC Moms (and a few Dads I'd wager) are crying tears of joy right now. No one deserves this more. When you hit Broadway you are going to have to reserve the theater one night for all of your CC fans.</p>
<p>We all know that you will work your butt off at OCU (they are so lucky to get you) but make sure and have lots of fun, too. I'll stay on CC just to follow your adventures. Brava, Miss!!</p>
<p>Shauna, Now you can have it all! OCU is lucky to have you and wow, what a fabulous choice! I only learned about OCU fairly recently and found it be a superb program. You are one smart cookie, and yes, we'll see you on Broadway someday soon!</p>
<p>Shauna, I am so very thrilled for you, I got chills reading your wonderful news! Congratulations on OCU, you deserve it so very much. I'll let Emily know, too, because I know she's been cheering you on for a long time! Yay for you! :)</p>
<p>Shauna,
I have tears in my eyes! I am so happy for you. I feel so lucky to be able to say that I look forward to meeting you when I take my son to OCU!!!</p>
<p>Shauna--Way to Go! Thrilled for you!</p>
<p>Very very happy for you Shauna!</p>
<p>Shauna--I haven't even read your post on here yet, but in case you read this before my email (needless to say, I got yours!), I started crying the minute I saw your email and STILL have shivers running up and down my arms. I am so EXCITED. The computer guy was working on my computer, so I couldn't get online and just knew I was missing something! Maybe the D and I will get to meet you this summer after all!</p>
<p>GO SHAUNA!!! so happy for you!!</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS Shauna!!!!
I have followed your story since the beginning. What a testimony of perseverance! We are so happy and excited for you! My d will also be going to OCU this fall. We look forward to meeting you when we get there.</p>
<p>Yay for the girl with the mad HTML skills!!! (To drumbeat) Go Shauna! Go Shauna! Go Shauna! Go Shauna! :D :D :D :D</p>
