Nan in Mass Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm so sorry, Cleo. How disappointing! I agree that you still belong on the list, though. How about a MOOC? Not the same thing, but it might be something you can do until the next grad deadline. Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 There is much happiness here as dd received her first reply--acceptance to Hollins University with merit scholarship! She is delighted! 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 My ds got his admission (and top merit scholarship) notification from Birmingham-Southern College today. This school was late to hit our radar but has emerged as a favorite so this is exciting news. The scholarship puts the cost in line with our state U (with his scholarships) so it looks doable. Will still wait for others to come in but this is good :001_smile: The official early action notification date isn't until Dec 15. So it was a nice surprise. We weren't even watching for it yet. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we will start a new thread for where the students choose to land for early nect spring since a lot of students won't make that choice until after FASFA season so it might not get updated often enough now to keep it on the first page.

Colleen in NS Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My ds has his second university acceptance!!! It's conditional upon the school receiving his SAT scores (frustrating glitch we are working through - LOVED talking with the College Board rep. - NOT), but it's for the BSc program in Mathematics!! I think we'll find out about scholarships after the SAT score thing is settled. This is so exciting to be seeing all this happen finally! Congrats to the new acceptances! The list has been updated.

ValRN Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It was a fluke that we found out so early. DD, an alumni, was mentioning to a friend from college who works at U of MI that her brother had applied there. The friend went and sneaked a peak at his file and found he was accepted. The letter is not in hand. We expect it to go out when the others do around the first of December. No one else around here knows. I posted due to the relative anonymity here, but don't want to say anything locally and end up with friend in trouble. It was nice to know though! Oh my gosh! How lucky you are to know already. Congratulations to you both. DS applied to U of MI and is anxiously awaiting a decision. It's his first choice school (but may not be possible due to out of state tuition). He spent two weeks this summer in their SCEEP (engineering) program and was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Oh my gosh! How lucky you are to know already. Be patient! For my eldest, we only learned of acceptance by July 25th! Two university applications, both of them answered at the end of July! So we had about a month to prepare.

It just happened that dd, an alum, was talking with another alum - a friend of hers - who has connections and someone took a peak at her brother's file before letters went out. Even my parents do not know. It has only been mentioned here because of the relative anonymity. I was so excited, I didn't think about the fact that posting early might cause other parents to have some anxiety while waiting. I am very sorry about that. It is a great school. I really hope your ds gets good news. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian (a lady) Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Got the first acceptance in yesterday. Came in via email. The response was pretty much a great big smile from my no visible emotion kid. This was from a school that was pretty high up on his list, has family nearby so that he could visit for holidays or get visits for big events, and lines up with his academic and career goals very nicely. I'm so thrilled that this was a yes. It's funny the denouement. Overnight I'm hopeful that he will get other positive responses, rather than despairing that everyone will say no. So much now seems possible rather than a huge hurdle. What a relief. I have permission to share, but will hold the college name until we get a chance to tell more of the family. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a lot longer than it should have because they lost her ACT scores. I had to contact the ACT board and get the date and batch number when they were sent. Once they found them (over a month after they arrived :glare: ) she had her acceptance in 48 hours.
