2015 College acceptances - is this where it goes?
bugs replied to momofkhm's topic in The College Board
Well, a little surprising- my daughter was accepted into the University of Washington. She applied as a freshman (she is in a gap year), but they informed her in March that she would be considered a transfer student. They suggested she change her essay response to the one geared toward transfer students. When she realized she couldn't wait until June to see if she was accepted, she didn't bother updating the application. It's still pretty neat.- 452 replies

service academies Service Academies and ROTC - Class of 2020
bugs replied to Sebastian (a lady)'s topic in The College Board
I think after finals I will have him talk to their admissions folk. It might make it more "real" for him. Do you if seasonal allergies prevents a student from eligibility?- 52 replies

service academies Service Academies and ROTC - Class of 2020
bugs replied to Sebastian (a lady)'s topic in The College Board
Sebastian, I wanted to thank you for reminding us each year about service academies. My son is considering the USCGA and maybe USNA (both have row teams :thumbup1: ). He will be a senior next year, but is considering taking a gap year. Do you think this will hurt his chances of getting into either of these academies? I believe he plans to just work during that year off (and row). Thanks!- 52 replies

Input needed on this h.s. plan
bugs replied to shanezomom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
As Lori D pointed out, grades 9 & 10 were loaded with 7 credits each, which, if it were my children, would be overwhelming (esp for 9th grade). Of course you know your child. Also, having Economics and Government as a freshman may also be overwhelming; but then again, my children matured slowly (govt was tough on my daughter in 9th grade, so I learned and didn't give it to my son then). My only other stand out is the Latin and no modern language. Some colleges require modern language. Otherwise, yay! Everything is done. -
Would you consider a college with no dorms (or meal plan)?
bugs replied to Matryoshka's topic in The College Board
Honestly, I would have difficulty with the no dorm situation. I think it's better for a first year student to spend her time getting her academic bearings (most people I knew actually studied in the dorms) than her "survival" ones (shopping, cooking, paying a variety of bills, etc.). A friend's daughter who tried to do the minimum meal plan her first quarter spent too much of her free time shopping and cooking food. It was stressful for this first year (although a dual enrollment graduate) college kid. -
Great job! Congratulations to your daughter (and you and hubby)! :hurray:

Brookings Institute report on colleges with highest added value
bugs replied to plansrme's topic in The College Board
Interesting study. Even more interesting to me is that Washington State U has a higher value added than Univ of Wash. - just saying out loud. -

Loved the Joplin piece- but I am very partial to ragtime. Thanks for sharing.

No, not waiting. DD made hers last Wednesday. Why am I less stressed now?! I hope, for your sake, your son decides soon.

I have no idea if you need to do this. My daughter just e-mailed the amount, her "school A" offered, to the admissions and financial aid dept of her "school B". They didn't really budge, sigh. Maybe your way would work for your school. Good luck, I hope it does!

Gosh, I thought Catch 22 - was set during the Korean War... What about Nisei Daughter? (by Monica Itoi Sone) A wonderful memoir of a second-generation American Japanese girl living in Seattle pre-WWII through internment camp and beyond. My son and I really enjoyed it. Edited - I guess I get Catch 22 and MASH mixed up. Yep, WWII.

He annoyed me with "we can encourage more lawsuits against the abusive practices of "sharing-economy" powerhouses". I can't stand that kind of mentality. -
Questions on dual enrollment at community college
bugs replied to Jamberry77's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
If he is on track to completing his core classes for graduation, let him take a class in an area that is interesting to him. It could be counted as an elective. Since you want to get another recommendation, I think it should also be where his strength lies.
