<p>Thanks so much Splashmom, and Berurah! </p>
<p>Berurah, I really appreciate your being bright enough to do this in BROWN . . .I was gonna try to do a crash course in colors but I was too excited about getting this message typed!!!</p>
<p>Mo3: Yay and hurray! Brown's a terrific place...wish it had sparked my S's interested; I love it! (Too bad I'm not the one who gets to pick!)...Major congrats...w/my S having just chosen Cornell, I'm feeling a particular affinity to all the Ivies...we're really excited for you...congrats again!</p>
<p>momofthree Once again....Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brown is a wonderful school. It sounds like he really put a lot of thought into his decision and I'm sure that means he made the right choice!!!!<br>

<p>MomofThree, congrats!!! Some of us were hoping he would pick Brown!! Congrats to your son...hope his sis is taking it well.</p>
<p>I called it! I called it! Lucky S! Congrats to all!</p>
<p>Thanks so much folks! I just showed my son these sweet messages, and he very much appreciates your concern and interest. </p>
<p>Overanxiousmother, we are so happy about this. I never thought seriously about Ivies being in the realm of possibility, being a real liberal arts types, smaller college girl, but my S is up for some adventure, more than I ever was. I think it may be an adventure of a lifetime, especially since he has lived his whole life in a rural southern tiny town!</p>
<p>Andi, I tried to PM you but I think you've got lots of messages in your mailbox! I think this is a great decision, but it was hard for my son to send those decline messages to the other places. Swat, I think, was the toughest, perhaps because it was the best known, and so high in his sister's esteem! I think Brown is really a better fit for him, and time will tell. I would NEVER have wanted to follow in my older sister's footsteps!</p>
<p>Achat, thanks for all of your comments in the "reading my kid's mind" days. It is good to have a clarity here, even if it means my only other visit to Swat is to go to D's wedding!</p>
<p>Congratulations! I know how difficult this was as he had some great choices. Isn't it a relief to have the decision made and be finished worrying about it. And several days early. Congrats again.</p>
<p>Momofthree, I must admit that my heart froze when I saw the name of your thread. "Still sorting! Oh no!" I said to myself. But then I was thrilled to hear he picked BROWN! Hurray! All the best to him!</p>
<p>Carolyn, Oh my! I did not mean to scare you with my ambiguous title!! Especailly when we have finally gained clarity!! </p>
<p>Thanks to all of you for your kindness. I am feeling such a huge sigh of relief, along with a certain poignant awareness that this is really REAL now.</p>
<p>It wasn't the sorting hat, it was that Brown hat he bought while visitng that did it!</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
<p>Congrats! And isn't it such a relief when they finally decide??!!</p>
<p>momofthree - and a little sadness for the ones that got away. I do understand.</p>
<p>Love the Harry Potter reference!</p>
<p>Congratulations! I'm so glad the decision is made and you can breathe a sigh of relief. (did you withhold food?) The best of luck to sonofthree in his new adventure at Brown.</p>
<p>Now it's time to buy those extra long sheets and figure how to transport everything to Rhode Island!</p>
<p>momofthree~</p>
<p>I was SO excited to be able to do that post in brown for BROWN!!!</p>
<p>My son also applied to Brown, but was waitlisted. I think it is an awesome school, and I just know your son will have the most fabulous time there! Isn't it just the most surreal feeling to actually have this decision made!? Once again, CONGRATS!!! ~b.</p>
<p>Momofthree,</p>
<p>I am so excited for your son. He is about to have 4 incredible years! Congratualtions!!</p>
