I don’t recall asking and who is this “we” you refer to?


That was my thought too. I guess mama is going to college!


Oh here we go, the we police are out!

She feels connected to her child and probably has cheered her on throughout the process.

Just stop and get a life

Wait lists this year might actually move. Why not stay on them if still interested in attending?

Staying on four waitlists when you already have so many offers seems like prolonging an already painfully long process. If one of the waitlist schools is a clear favorite, stay on that one. Pick one of schools that accepted and get excited about it.

My god. You won. You have several top choices. Pick one. End the gaming.

Congrats to your kid, some great choices there. I would choose Wash U from that list if the cost isn't a stretch.

Do they prefer larger or smaller? The schools would all have very different vibes. Congrats! All good choices.

They are all excellent choices for the specified major. My one thought is that kids often end up changing majors so take that into consideration as well — Indiana and Purdue are fantastic for business and engineering respectively, but less remarkable outside of those majors. Whereas Wash U is great across the board.

Accepted:
Boston College (Carroll - business)
Indiana University (Kelley - business)
Purdue (Engineering)
UW - Madison (Engineering)
UT - Austin (McCombs - business)
Washington University in St. Louis (accepted to engineering, but would double major b/w McKelvey and Olin)

Waitlisted: (sent in letters of continued interest - really hoping to get off wait lists, but we know chances are slim)
Dartmouth College
University of Notre Dame
University of Virginia (OOS)
Vanderbilt University

Intended major: Business (not sure what specific major yet) and/or Engineering (again, unsure, but probably Comp. Eng./Systems Eng./BME)
