Yep, but I would have to return the book to the school. :scared: So I opted to have my consumables covered. (I hate giving up perfectly good books.)

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Third DS only applied to one school this year. We had many more interesting things to do than multiple applications. Plus he fell in love with Christopher Newport University, and we knew he was competitive. He was admitted with scholarship money to their Leadership Program and he can't wait until fall.
Mom is happy. In-state tuition--we can graduate him debt-free! He adores the campus, he can study music performance and math, and he's an hour away from home. Why would we university-shop past that?
So if you guys are slackers, count me in.

You need a "like button" on this thread so everyone can celebrate with you without having to actually post :party: .
:laugh: Congratulations!

I am really fascinated by the British experience during WW II. The TV series Foyle's War is great for this and is available on Netflix. It's very clean and suitable for all ages except for a couple of episodes that briefly show badly-wounded bodies and might offend very sensitive tykes.
One of my favorite series, ever.

WW2
Catch-22 - Heller
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.

Can he read through SWB's History of the Medieval World and add those documentaries? I've only used Biblioplan and that was when the kids were win elementary and middle school.

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.

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.

You may be surprised how much an engineer actually has to write. An engineer who writes well is a rare thing. Just sayin'.
