Thank you! We've been impressed by everything we've heard about Rice, and we're grateful he has so many wonderful chioces!

DS was accepted to Rice University!

Big day yesterday. My son was accepted to Harvey Mudd, his dream college! He was also accepted to UCLA as a Regents Scholar! We are thrilled and grateful!

DS accepted to UC San Diego -- CS major in Jacobs School of Engineering. :001_smile:

I spoke too soon. He just found out that he's also in at UC Irvine, as a Regents Scholar!

Today's news: DS was accepted to Cal Poly SLO for computer science! :001_smile:

My ds found out today that he's been accepted to the University of Southern California (USC)! And he is a finalist for the Trustee scholarship! Shocked but very grateful!

Congratulations on all the acceptances! I'm constantly impressed by the caliber of our Hive students and their parents. My son received his first acceptance! The School of Engineering at Santa Clara University, with merit scholarship! :party: P.S The first acceptance is such a relief. Someone wants him, and I haven't completely messed him up! LOL!

Does this mean that the teacher will get multiple emails, one for each school to which he/she is assigned? Or just one email after the first school is assigned?

I might have spoken too soon. Gosh, it's getting confusing. Apparently CB has been tweeting one thing and posting another on their website. Some people are getting scripted explanations over the phone, and everyone's in turmoil over the contradictions. I think we will take a break from the CC drama and just hang tight! :001_smile:

Relieved to hear the missing girl was found. Poor parents...I can imagine their worry! The latest update on SATgate - CB is only going to throw out one section, not both, and it will depend on which test booklet the student had. So section 8 will not be scored for some students and section 9 won't be scored for others. Sorting the students into one of the two categories sounds like a big undertaking with nearly half a million test takers. I sure hope they don't mess up the scoring algorithms!

In an act of optimism, I decided to take advantage of the free score reports that come with registration. Just sent them off to my son's safety schools. We might as well save some money! :001_smile: If anyone is interested in doing the same, the deadline is 6/15.

Kinsa - Yep, both Math & CR. The two most important sections for admissions and scholarships. Emz - I think a lot of students are already lobbying for a free retake. I just don't know how they would manage the logistics of a retake during the summer when schools are closed and proctors may be hard to find. Kids could retake it in the fall, but my S is so DONE with test prep and wants to focus on apps now. Joules - Me too! I'm so glad I signed him up for the ACT at the last minute.

While I'm relieved my son won't have to retake, he's not happy about the update. He says a single error will hurt a lot more, and he may not make his goal score. It's a bummer because his test room followed protocol. I guess it's wait and see...

My son said that the proctor wrote the time (20 min) on the board. Just as that section started, a student saw 25 min in his booklet, raised his hand, and questioned the proctor. Other students insisted that it was supposed to be 20 min, and the proctor said to carry on. Eight, I agree. Students who have been diligently working on practice tests should be familiar with the times for each section. The latest on SATgate - CB has been tweeting this morning, "We will provide more information when it's available" (along with the link in #8 above) and "June scores will be released starting June 25th." I'm hopeful that we will get my son's scores as scheduled and be able to look at the SAT in the rear view mirror! In other news, the LA Times is reporting "Police continue search for missing girl thought to be overwhelmed by SAT."
