Granny_Weatherwax Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Is any one else still waiting for their student to make a decision? My DS has not yet made his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Dd just made hers. My stress level went from over the moon to about grass level in that one sentence! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugs Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 No, not waiting. DD made hers last Wednesday. Why am I less stressed now?! I hope, for your sake, your son decides soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 ^Don't kids typically come off waitlists *after* May 1? Isn't it normal to go ahead and make a deposit somewhere? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in NY Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Mine's still debating. I am sitting on my hands and trying to tread lightly... Leave it up to her now that she is down to two and the money is equal. Breathing in, breathing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*LC Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I ran into a neighbor whose senior is still deciding. The money is the same, just different kinds of schools a top 20 private vs a top 100 big OOS public. Happy thoughts and patience to all of you.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 We're still waiting, too. Is it fair to assume that since so few people are discussing the finality of decisions (without going into detail) that the majority of the 100+ students on the College Acceptances thread have made their decisions?

My son made his decision official on Sunday. I am glad I get a year to recover before I have to go through this process again. Being the guidance counselor adds a whole new dimension to the stress level as I worry that I am going to make a mistake in the documentation and screw things up somehow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kinda what I was wondering, too. We have an acceptances thread, but not a decisions thread...is that what we normally do? The fact that all my daughter's friends had made their commitments helped her (positive peer pressure) to get off the pot and choose. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Ds made his decision very, very shortly after financial award letters came out since it was already down to two schools. Alma ended up not being particularly affordable, and due to handicap accessibility and at that time not knowing whether or not he would need bone graph surgery, U of MI was the practical choice and thankfully, he's very happy about it. When we went through this with DD, since she was accepted everywhere she applied and several schools came in close to each other in terms of dollars, she dragged it out until the third week of April so right about now six years ago was when she ended our stress! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in NY Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Decision mostly made tonight. Can't believe it, but it looks like dd#2 will be following her big sister. Sister will be out of the country for all of next year, and dd#2 is really OK with that fact. :oP 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
