<p>As one new Carleton parent to another - welcome! There are several experienced Carl parents on the board who are always willing to help answer any questions. Congratulations and good luck to your daughter.</p>
<p>neverthere - As one OLD Carleton parent to another - congrats to your D on her decision! Hope she finds her new home away from home as comfy as my soph D does.</p>
<p>I'll add another "hooray" from yet one more new Carleton parent - sounds like our kids will have some great classmates!</p>
<p>Carleton is a school with outstanding results for producing future leaders, life long learners who are likely to pursue graduate degrees with great success and life long friends. Congrats on your daughter's excellent prospects, hard work that earned her these fine choices and may she enjoy a fantabulous freshman fall.</p>
<p>neverthere. from another new carl parent-i think. my son sounds similar to your d. we also visted carleton last week and he loved it while we were there. he is hesitant to send his card (his other option is carnegie mellon) though i know he will love carleton and thrive there. i thinks his second thoughts are not about his college choice, rather the face-off with growing up and making such a final-feeling decision so early in his life. i think it has finally hit him that he is graduating in two weeks. give your daughter some room. she has made a great life choice. you will have time later to share her inevitable excitement.</p>
