@hopewhite25 - Oh…my runway is quite long, with a sophomore D, and a D in 4th grade. But, this being my first child to go through the process, mistakes were made. May I learn from them, to be a better guide to my D’s down the road.

@BuffDad2022 This is our second, with one more to come in 4 years. Mistakes were made with the first and I feel like we worked them out with our second. Hopefully we can do the same with our last one. Although we joke she may be the one that ends up living at home with us. Lol.
I’m just happy that the Vanderbilt waitlist isn’t impossible to get off of.
