AFwife Claire Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 DS#2--University of Alabama-Huntsville, majoring in engineering. Â He received their "Charger Excellence" scholarship, which pays for 100% of tuition plus housing. Â He also was awarded a 4 year type 1 AFROTC scholarship (100% tuition plus fees and books, and a monthly stipend), but he really didn't want to follow his older brother to VA Tech and be an engineering major in the Corps, just like oldest DS, (and he didn't want any other VA school, esp. not UVA). Â So getting this scholarship from UAH is allowing him to go somewhere else and forge his own path, which was really important to him. Â We both felt like he would be well-positioned to get a good job there without serving in the Air Force, so he'll be turing down the ROTC scholarship. Â That hasn't been his life-time dream, like it was for his brother. Â Â We visited there back in January, and he really liked the school. Â It's the right size for him, and everyone was very friendly. Â We have good friends who retired from the AF down there, so we can stay with them when we visit, and they've already said they are happy to pick up DS whenever he wants and take him back to their house or shopping or church or wherever so that is really nice. Â Also, he decided to do the Honors program there, so he'll be in the honors dorm. Â 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quark Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) DS14 will attend UC Berkeley's College of Letters and Sciences, most likely as a math major with the possibility of another major or minor (too many interests right now to be sure! :laugh: ). Â He was accepted as an early admit (Cal announces this in early Feb and extends this honor to the top 1% of freshman applicants, I think) and he was invited to interview for the Regents scholarship but was not awarded the scholarship in the end. No worries as we knew Cal was the most likely choice logistically and financially anyway. The scholarship would have helped only slightly with finances (it was the priority registration that DS was after). We also live within commuting distance and DS will live at home due to both age and for considerably lower first year fees (by half!!). Â He has already been taking math circle and classes at Cal as a concurrently enrolled high schooler which helped a lot with getting to know the campus well. We think CC credits will transfer and provide more benefits such as added time to dabble and try different courses/ seminars/ more research opportunities. We'll see. Â For now, we are paying the deposit and keeping fingers crossed that the kid will have the time of his life as a Golden Bear. :001_wub: Edited March 31, 2017 by quark 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 DD16a - Local community college, Business major. Â Why - she decided that the Biology/Forensics major she's been planning on for 4 years is not her thing any longer, and she's really not sure what she wants to do. Â We get two free years of CC, so while she's figuring out life she will get her Associates debt free. She picked Business as a major because it gives her the most job flexibility. Â DD16b - MTSU, Elementary Education major. Â Why - her first pick was Union University, but even with several good scholarships, it was still going to be significantly more expensive than the state school, MTSU. Â With plans to be a teacher, she knows that she can't afford to carry a bunch of student loans, and we can only help so much. Â She chose MTSU over the local university because 1. she wants to experience life without being part of a set (twin) and 2. MTSU has a much smaller campus than our local school.

Guest Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 ...she wants to experience life without being part of a set (twin)... This is exactly why my twins demanded to go to separate colleges, and tbh it's been good for them. Unfortunately, we are looking ahead to graduation next spring, and it appears they graduate on the same day, one in Texas, one in Ohio. Doh!

Gratia271 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Last night, my daughter accepted admission at Ohio State University. She will double major in Classics and Linguistics. This combination leaves all paths open to her after graduation, whether grad school, law, medicine, or industry.  OSU was clear choice across all indices. OSU has strong academics in her areas of study. OSU is top 10 in US for Linguistics and has robust Classics program with graduate offerings to undergrads. Numerous Honors and advanced classes and research opportunities in her fields of interest. As an Eminence Fellow, she has a faculty mentor and program mentor to work with her throughout her studies. In terms of culture and fit, OSU again clearly wins for DD inasmuch as she has a close community of peers (fellow Eminence Scholars who live together in Honors dorm) within a large, diverse context-what DD really wanted for the college she would attend. In terms of finances, OSU is fully funding her education along with enrichment grants. She is also within driving distance and can have a car on campus. Since she has three new siblings, she really wanted to be relatively close to home if possible. The idea of having her own car on campus didn't sound too bad to her either. LOL.   27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 DD has decided to go to The University of Redlands and will be pursuing a bachelors of music in performance. Although IU Jacobs School of Music was her first choice she didn't receive enough scholarship money to offset out-of-state tuition. She is actually very happy with her second choice. We have visited the campus numerous times and she has fallen in love with it. She likes the intimate feel of the campus and the music school. I think it will be a great match for her and I imagine she will really grow over the next four years.  Her twin brother still cannot make a decision about where to go. Hopefully I will be updating the thread with his decision soon. :) 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 D has committed to Indiana University :) She will study International Studies with a concentration in Diplomacy, Security, and Governance. In addition, she will continue her study of Arabic and Chinese. Â Why IU? She was first drawn to IU after learning that they added an Arabic Language Flagship program to their existing Chinese and Turkish programs. (See here https://www.thelanguageflagship.org/content/home for general Language Flagship info). Everyone she met during her long visit was encouraging and friendly. She did not feel like an oddity for wanting to pursue two critical languages at a high level. And, of course, the very generous scholarships helped :lol: Â Her plan is to complete both the Arabic and Chinese Flagship requirements which include both study and internship periods abroad while receiving her BA from IU. This will only be possible because D has been studying both languages at the university level and because... Â D will be spending the '17-'18 academic year as a Rotary Youth Exchange student in Taiwan :party: She will live with two or three host families in New Taipei City while she attends a Taiwanese high school and (hopefully) perfects her Chinese. D's current Chinese prof is from Taiwan and is so excited for her :) 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz4me Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 DS will be attending Appalachian State University and double majoring in political science and criminal justice. Â Why -- Â I think the main reason is that he's 2e and feels very comfortable there. It's the place that feels right. They're also accepting all of his credits (he's an early college high school student who will get his AS next month). So he should be able to finish up with a double major in two or at the most two and a half years. They're also starting a program this year just for their early college students. The university is recognizing that these kids aren't true/typical freshmen and yet they don't quite fit in with the regular juniors who are starting their third year on campus, either. They'll have their own area in a dorm, their own club/group and a few other perks I've forgotten. Having a university really reach out to kids like him was appealing, I think. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch at Home Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 DD has decided to attend Wellesley College. She is currently undecided with regard to her major but learned that she must decide by November of her Sophomore year to study abroad her Junior year - good incentive to make a decision. :-)  Wellesley was added to her list late in the process as she wanted another college on her list similar to Barnard which she loved but did not get accepted to. I even had her hold off applying to Wellesley until she had completed her other applications. Her Wellesley essay went together quickly one afternoon as opposed to the days she spent on essays for other colleges.  During the college application process, DD was drawn to high stats schools because she wanted to be immersed in an environment of people like her,  a need that honor programs and halls never quite met. At Wellesley, she felt like she had finally found her tribe. DD loved the Calculus III class she sat in on and the fact that there was chatter prior to both classes she observed. She is excited that Wellesley has a Supplemental Instructor program likes her CC and hopes that she can continue being a Supplemental Instructor as her work study job. DD was also impressed by the deliberate effort that Wellesley makes to create community. Being from the Midwest, Wellesley is a long way from home but she is totally ready for this move. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 DD has accepted her offer at the College of William & Mary to be a 1693 Scholar! She plans to major in Mathematics and possibly double-major/minor in Russian and Japanese.  The 1693 Scholars Program will fully fund her undergraduate education and also allow her to begin or possibly complete a master's degree as well during her four years. All of the 300 and 400-level mathematics classes she completed while in high school will transfer, and she will be able to begin undergraduate research upon arrival. Additionally, the 1693 Program will fund a summer of research of her own choosing. She will receive specialized advising and lots of other perks like extra trips and weekly luncheons with faculty and visiting dignitaries. Luckily for her parents and siblings, she will also be pretty close to home. :001_smile:  Dd has been so impressed by the faculty with whom she has spoken. They have been genuinely interested in her research and in her plans for the future. Several of the schools she applied to had good math departments but not really much to offer in foreign language, and I'm so thankful that she won't have to choose between her interests. She is excited by the list of advanced math classes available to her and is looking forward to joining in on Russian House events and classes in Japanese foodways. This is the best of all possible outcomes I could have envisioned for her!  27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
