A virtual hug coming your way! I tell you, the hours since we left CT on Monday leaving our scholar have been DIFFICULT. My husband is a toughie and he is a mess. We know it is the right thing, we know that it is perfect for her, but dang... We feel like it is the end of an era for us, so...

Oh my! Super exciting. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers this weekend. That will be a crazy adjustment for your daughter as that will be just a few weeks to throw it all in a bag and get to New London. Good Luck and we are hoping she will be in motivated socks by the month's end.

The only thing my daughter said she wished she would have brought was moleskin and a few extra pounds on her body. She did say that following the list and the instructions carefully is important - especially with hydration and acclimating to the humidity.

Congrats! What an exciting way to find out. You are going to be busy these next weeks getting everything in order, but it will be so worth it!

When we called, we were told Marion only.

Those were EXACTLY the comments I was expecting to hear. Except for the Ohio State one... ours is a die hard Michigan fan:) We do live in a military friendly community so perhaps that is helping. Thank you for all your kind words...

Our daughter is confirming her acceptance today. It was a tough couple of days in this house as she was initially disappointed and needed some time to understand the opportunity she was being given. Her plan B was to play her sport at a Division 1 program with a tremendous school spirit...

In the scholars programs are these volunteer opportunities offered or coordinated? Are they permitted to go off campus in the afternoons/evenings to do these activites? Our DD volunteers a lot now and doesn't want to lose that, but is unsure how she can do it in the confines of the...

Boy do I understand! Now, in our house the roles are somewhat reversed. My husband is a law enforcement officer, no prior military experience as his mother flipped out at the prospect many years ago. My husband is hesitant for our DD to accept a scholars appointment to a SA as he is...

First, let me send out the positive vibes to all you waiters. It is hard. Our daughter received a Scholars appointment package last night. (yay!!) She was not expecting that outcome. Think she was expecting a denial. She was quiet in her reaction and spent a lot of time reading last...

You are NOT alone. When all the TWE posts started popping up on Tuesday we were certain it was over. Still silent. What does it mean? Only 1 more week right?

Congrats!

Does anyone have any experience with Admissions being kind enough to let an applicant know a little earlier if its a no or not likely? I am encouraging her to call and ask, but as a rule follower, she is resisting:) Our DD, if fortunate enough to be accepted, would be unable to compete with...

Luigi: If our daughter wasn't interviewed until this weekend, does this mean she is not part of the regular admission group? Waiting list?

This kid had just about given up. The coach that had so heavily recruited her had gone quiet. The deferral letter arrived. No interview despite asking for months and repeatedly following up. She's spent the last few months researching Environmental Engineering programs and applying like...

Thanks for a great morning treat. This is super cool to see. I felt much better once I saw the people behind the camera enjoying it rather than watching the two teens more focused on their lunch bags than anything else.

Thank you VERY much for this post. I was just sending a PM to our moderator explaining that it is very important for the athletes to understand these numbers. Many recruited athletes are used to schools where if they "meet the ranges", athletics will get them into top schools over kids with...

I am sending you all sorts of good vibes. We thought we were the last out here in California.

Deferral here as well. Can anyone shed light on how many that are deferred actually end up receiving appointments? Our DD has to now make decisions on D1 athletic offers and we do not know how to advise her as this was her first choice.

Does anyone else have the recurring nightmare of not hearing by the 24th and going that entire LONG weekend without mail?
