<p>S got admitted into Harvard and has decided that's it. No more apps.</p>
<p>Marite, I am so happy for your son, you and your family. You help people out here so selflessly, I can't help feel glad for you!! Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>ps. will your son go back to solving math problems now, as a celebration event?</p>
<p>Congrats to your son, Marite! Great news!!</p>
<p>Congratulations, Marite. Now you can go back to looking after the pheasant uprisings. Hope we'll see you sharing info on this board as a been-there-done-that parent. </p>
<p>P.S. So is your guy taking a math concentration at his school of choice? I recall you saying that he wasn't expecting to take Math 55. What is he expecting to take?</p>
<p>Congratulations Marite! Best of luck to you and your son, as I'm sure this is just the first in a long string of good news!</p>
<p>Congratulations! I am so happy for you and your son.</p>
<p>I knew your S would get in! I'm so happy for you, Marite, and your family. Congratulations. Have fun celebrating!</p>
<p>Congrats!! With all the noise about Princeton I forgot HY ED time was here. :) And really, binding or not, who is going to send out apps after getting accepted to Harvard?? :)</p>
<p>Congrats! If there's any info that I may be able to give you or him from an alum perspective, feel free to e-mail me.</p>
<p>Yeah to Marite's son! Much deserved!</p>
<p>Thank you all!
Achat: LOL! He was actually in math class when the news was sent out. As soon as the class was over, he called home and asked me to check his email (no concern about its being HIS mail); then, after I told him, he turned around and thanked the prof who'd written a rec (based on the class he took last spring) and told him he did not need to send out any more recs for him. He'd just given the prof a batch of rec forms the day before, in case the news was not positive.</p>
<p>Tokenadult: He could not take Math 55 or for that matter 23, or 25 when in high school, partly because of scheduling issues. Once he gets into Harvard, he may take Math 55. He'll have to discuss this with the director of undergraduate studies. He may decide to double major in math and physics (still fascinated by string theory). </p>
<p>NJres: String theory was one reason he really liked Princeton. He met some wonderful profs there, and the students who showed him around were very enthusiastic. </p>
<p>NSM: Thanks very much for the offer. I'll send you a PM at some later time.</p>
<p>Tlaktan: Thank you. Keep your own hopes up. You already have been admitted to a great school and have some other wonderful opportunities.</p>
<p>Isn't it a great feeling to be done? Congratulations Marite & family!</p>
<p>Oh great news marite, and I thought you had posted he wasn't applying ED anywhere! Best wishes to son of marite!</p>
<p>Wonderful to hear that! Congratulations!</p>
<p>cangel:</p>
<p>He did not wish to bind himself with an ED application; Harvard SCEA gave him a chance to apply elsewhere as well. But by now, he's made up his mind and will not complete the other apps (the Stanford one was already sent). We went out for a celebration dinner which my H calculates ate up the application fees we saved.</p>
<p>Marite, congratulations.</p>
<p>Marite, Congratulations to your son and family! We'll be interested in watching his brilliant career continue to develop.</p>
<p>Delighted to hear your news, Marite!</p>
<p>Marite, that's wonderful news! You must be incredibly proud of your S. And he must be so very proud of himself, and relieved that the whole question of where he'll be in the fall is settled. Kudos and congratulations!</p>
<p>Hooray - of course getting into Harvard isn't quite like getting into Ohio University, but not everyone can go to OU. All kidding aside, congrats!!!! And don't go away yet! There's lots more to come with all these other kids! WOW!!!</p>
