[quote=Anonymous]My DS applied to 11 schools, 10 LACs and one OOS school.  He's been admitted to the OOS school and 6 of the 10 remaining LACs.  He has been offered substantial merit aid at all the LACs.  That was a surprise because he is not a straight A student by any means.  And we're not applying for financial aid.

We worked with an independent college counselor and (and with the college counselors at his school) she was very low key and I think she helped DS pick schools that would be a good fit for him.  He has gotten into all the school she thought would be a reach for him.  All his schools are strong in what he thinks he wants to major in and they also offer good choices if he changes his mind about a major.

We are very lucky that DS has so many good choices in front of him.  And all the choices were ultimately his.

If you asked me a year ago where we'd be on 3/15/16, I would have said that DH and DS would have been a wreck with anxiety and we'd be trying to keep it from DS.  Amazingly, we are all calm and happy with DS's happiness being the most important.

With the winter and spring EA school admissions, we just could not be happier.  I think the college counselor we worked with helped with my anxiety and DS's, but I certainly commend his school counselors as well.

I am very grateful that DS has great options to choose from.  I really didn't think this would play out like this.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck to everyone.[/quote]
