Therese Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 DD has been accepted at her #1 choice. It's a great school, but they only offer need-based fin. aid, no merit-based. We've been through that situation before with our older two and managed to get them through, but we've maxed out our HE loan and don't know how we're going to pay for it. Praying that somehow, some way she'll be able to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisabees Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 DS was accepted to Dickinson yesterday. He only hs for one year, but I thought I would add him on this thread, as hs made his transcript a bit unusual. Congratulations to all! :001_smile: Therese - best of luck to you.

We've only hsed for 2 years and doing the college applications seemed scary but, I have hope - given your son. You had some great comments on the threads during the application process that really helped our thinking.

UR is one of his top contenders of places to go (oodles of research ops and neuroscience as well as being well known for pre-med) pending the visit and finances.

With the demise of Kodak, the city could be facing some big challenges which could make for an interesting educational environment. It may be that more r and d dollars will be funneled into research at the university, giving some exciting possibilities. Just asking- Did your ds look at Case Western?

It may be that more r and d dollars will be funneled into research at the university, giving some exciting possibilities.Just asking- Did your ds look at Case Western? Not what we need here but, I'd like to know what folks thought. Case Western made my guys very short list, but not his final application list. Once we visited Pittsburgh and he saw he wasn't so much of an urban campus lover (without a defined campus), that gave Case a rather large nick in the con column (based upon hearsay from those who had visited). Then, when he looked at their website he didn't find nearly as much in opportunities for neuroscience. They have cognitive science (or something like that), but it's different and not as extensive (his words). I do know students who go to Case Western and love it there. They tend to be more into Biomedical Engineering or other Engineering. It's all about fit. My guy ended up applying to: University of Alabama Baylor Furman Pittsburgh U Rochester WUSTL He's been accepted to all but WUSTL (they notify in March for regular decision). His top three at the moment are UR, Furman, and WUSTL. I don't know that there's an order to them at this point. UR and WUSTL are there for the research and top level opportunities. Furman is there due to the small class sizes in even introductory classes (which he loves!), but he has to weigh the loss of great research options (they have some, but for sophomores on and less options). If all come out similar with finances, he's going to have a tough decision to make soon. It'll be his decision - pending finances. Baylor is likely good, but so far away and without as many research ops in what he's looking for. He never got around to applying to their Honors College as he already had schools closer he liked that he'd been accepted to. Alabama is nice (and the money is really nice), but not quite up there with the others with options for research in his field or the prestige in the northeast. He would have seriously considered going there anyway (with microbio as his major) if he'd made it into their Computer Based Honors, but he was just waitlisted for that. (They only accept 40 students.) As just another of their many honors students in a large U without his preferred major or research options within it, UA is only likely to be top if his other three aren't affordable. Hopefully that won't happen. Pittsburgh was lowest on his list after visiting (without visiting UR or Baylor) and dropped into the basement with their homeschooling transcript requirement letter. We never even sent them his top scores to compete for the best merit aid. He got accepted with merit aid anyway (without returning our response to the letter), but with deeper state budget cuts coming and other options - we just seriously doubt they'll be at the top when all packages are in. They do have a nice neuroscience program. I'm kind of eager to see what he decides. It's all going to be "over" soon. In two more months, he'll know. The time is going to fly by. It already is flying by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that still a big thing at UR? Then again, it was terrific for us non-sciency types, as well. Seconding the tunnels recommendation (although they've been painted and repainted so many times by now...the passage must be only a few feet wide!). And I must add...if you're living in Towers, you get no tunnel. I still have fond (no, really!) memories of clinging to the icy handrail to scale the hill to the cafeteria.

creekland Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) As expected, middle son got Waitlisted at WUSTL. College confidential lists many with impressive stats who got waitlisted. I'm personally chalking it up to fewer AP classes than his peers and his trying for one of their most competitive majors, BUT many with more AP scores than he has (he has one + 3 cc As) also got waitlisted or rejected, so, who knows? They tend to have in excess of 25,000 apps for some 3000 acceptances. His odds were low no matter what. BUT, this is one mom who is secretly pleased. I think the University of Rochester is perfect for what he wants. It's a nice, highly thought of academically, school. It's in a nice area of town. The medical school is right there (not so at WUSTL). Roughly 90% of the undergrads work on research (more than WUSTL). He'll be in their top 25% of students as opposed to right at the top 25 percentile (theoretically making it easier to be competitive for those top grades med students need). It's closer to home by 11 hours. Family lives right in Rochester should anything come up. He loved it there when we visited and loved the class he sat in on. He got a superb financial package - better than I ever expected from a top school. I think, had he gotten in to WUSTL with adequate financing, that he might have chosen to go there since he loved his visit and they are higher ranked. I'm thinking UR is his better choice looking at everything. I was prepared to let him make his own decision since it's his life. Therefore, I'm secretly pleased... ;) He is happy about UR and getting pretty gung ho about it right now (well, right now he's on his way to another chess tournament, but...). Barring anything unexpected on Admitted Student Days or anything thoroughly unexpected coming from Pittsburgh or Alabama (two schools he didn't like as much, so hard to see what that 'unexpected' could be unless coupled with the first unexpected on Admitted Student Days), my guy will be a Yellowjacket this fall! Meliora! May the next stage in his life be as rewarding as all the rest of it has been. Man, I'm going to miss him (and why I'm thrilled he's only going to be 6 hours away instead of 17). I hope the rest who are waiting get good news for their perfect schools making your decisions as easy as ours has been! I should add that UR was his first love when he first started looking at colleges more than a year ago. Then it fell out of favor due solely to winter. Then he hemmed and hawed with it going on and off his list several times always due to climate. Finally, at the last minute to apply for merit aid, he decided to get going writing supplemental essays and it was back on. I am SO GLAD he made that final decision even though he was at application "overload" at the time. Alabama and/or Pittsburgh likely missed out, but he returned to his first love - and, financially, they love him back - so it's win-win! Now he wonders why he 'wasted time' with his other 5 apps!

memphispeg Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Creekland; So the decision has been made!!! I am v. excited for your ds. He sounds like a cool kid who will do well. We did 10 apps. My dd asks "Why?" daily but knows that since we could not visit, we just had to shoot for the moon. With us, it will come down to $$ and whether or not her academic goals are really achievable at the school. We are headed out next week-end to visit 4 that have taken her w/out knowing all the financial details. Fingers crossed that all of them will come through with something good in that department. Dd was tired of writing essays and submitting all the "stuff" too but, there is a wonderful lesson in here (somewhere?) about how perseverance is necessary to capture the dream. I told her that short of child birth, this may be as hard as it gets? Note to your ds, he doesn't get to do child birth, so he may never know? Congrats and :grouphug: to you and ds!!! PS - The temptation to lurk on cc and facebook is so overwhelming at times. I'm no longer allowed to, I go and bake something instead!!!! Either that or plot out more Math/Physics assignments!!!

It was super short and, because he was feeling a bit delirious, super funny. I am pretty sure his lack of effort took Grinnell off the table. It's a shame, too, because it was a good fit.

It IS a nice relief after months of wondering and playing the "what if" game in our minds. The biggest relief is knowing it's financially affordable and a good school that he enjoys and where he can advance anywhere he wants - it he wants - afterward. I'm going to be eagerly watching this thread for news from the rest of y'all this month.
