<p>hobei1 - No I missed 60 minutes this week. There was a recent article in last week's WSJ about UCONN's applications being up at least 10% this year thanks to the economy. The waitlist didn't surprise me at all since they have rolling admissions.</p>
<p>Well we were nervous when April 15th rolled around & still no decision (S was originally deferred.) So I (I know it’s a no-no, but he wouldn’t) called and was told that they were waiting on his 2nd semster grades still?! Well after thinking a few choice words about Son’s GCs, was put on hold while the secretary brought his stuff to a supervisor. Long story short, they called back the next day and said a decision has been made. Apparently they had his grades & he just fell through the cracks somewhere.
I now have a fat envelope on my kitchen counter waiting for S to get back from his Senior class trip sometime after midnight tonight. He wanted me to open it but I can’t, too nervous. He’s hoping for the main campus at this point, with its CAMS major, or bust! Hope to post good news tomorrow!!</p>
<p>Well, not so good, but at least he can finally move on…S got in a branch not the main campus. Wish he would consider it, but I don’t think that’s happening.</p>
