Kid worked really hard these last years after a rocky covid start to high school, so very proud. My biggest worry now is that 3 out of the 4 are so similar I'm not sure how she'll choose. Wondering if we should've cast a more diverse net.

Still waiting to hear from the MD state schools and her reaches--


Awesome!

Mind sharing the merit aid offered by Allegheny?

Why not name the school?


OP - no pressure here to name if they opt not to. Everybody has their reasons and that is okay.

We are celebrating it either way

+10. Good midwestern folks. The other kids will be a nice change from the DMV kids.


My BFF from grad school (we went to U of M) went to MSU undergrad. So she has experience with both. She said the kids at MSU are much friendlier and there are a lot less strivers there. Which makes me happy. She also had no problems with the coursework at U of M at the grad level and felt well prepared.
My daughter will fit in there perfectly.


+10 That's awesome!

I wish I had gone to college in the Midwest.


+1. Well, I am from the Midwest and did go to a Big 10 school there. Just much more laid back kids than EAst Coast competitive college types. Friendly ya da da da da. I miss that!

Outstanding!! They have a unique approach to the college experience and attract some incredibly talented and well-rounded students. Please check out their Pipe Band -- they're terrific.

Many congrats to your DC!

You too! My DD was accepted to a target she’ll be really happy at, but she’s still waiting to hear from a few reaches. Any acceptances at this point will be a bonus; rejections won’t matter because she knows she’ll be out of the house next year 😂

Nice! DC also got great merit (a little less than your student but exactly what we needed to make it a very serious contender). Loved the energy of the campus, SUCH a great option. Congrats to your DC!
