<p>Slymlady,
Congrats to your very talented son! And to you! :)</p>
<p>That’s wonderful news for the holidays!</p>
<p>Agreed–congrats!</p>
<p>Isn’t it nice to hear early? Congrats to your son!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If they are affordable (net of any financial aid or scholarships), then he now has two safeties.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations!
And thank you so much for giving us news.
He must feel very proud, and he’s right to.
Plus, indeed, what a wonderful feeling: now, you KNOW he’s going to college.
And not only that: to a good, much sought-after college. No matter what happens, this in itself is a great victory.
:)</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona just came. Accepted for mechanical engineering. This is all pretty amazing.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your support everyone.</p>
<p>Congratulations to your son! He’s got great options</p>
<p>It will indeed be happy holidays at Slymfamily! Congrats, and enjoy.</p>
<p>PS My brother is an engineering grad from Cal Poly Pomona. Never had trouble finding work :)</p>
<p>Congrats!! Cal Poly Pomona for Engineering is AWESOME!</p>
<p>Congratulations! Start planning your campus visits! He’s got some great choices!</p>
<p>Congratulations. Be sure to keep up posted and come back when it is time to make a decisions. We can help with grad rates etc and any relevant info we may know about experiences at each college. </p>
<p>Be sure he looks at the National Association of Black Engineers. (I thought you were AA but I don’t want to go through the whole thread). There have some private scholarships. Congresswoman Lucy Roybal in your area has a student resource guide with scholarships for students from your area. </p>
<p>Don’t forget to apply for financial aid and have him keep him grades up. I know of some local California students who once they got into college got “D”'s in some classes and their acceptances were rescinded. </p>
<p>I know you son has a tough story to tell but look-he can now be a role model for other students at his high school. </p>
<p>So happy for you and good luck at the other schools.</p>
<p>Great news!</p>
<p>Congratulations to you and your son! I’m truly delighted to hear that all your hard work helping him overcome a bump in the road has payed off!</p>
<p>W00t! W00t!</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Yes, and a happy dance for your son and you!</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS–that’s a scream!</p>
