Partial scholarship to Mines (Colorado school of....). My kid worked hard in high school, and overcame a lot. So happy to see all the love from colleges.

(This is OP. Your turn to congratulate me!)

May I ask what the gpa was?


Hi. Sorry. Let's keep this thread just light and filled with good cheer. There's another acceptance thread with stuff like that.

That's great news. I would pick Michigan over the other two, but then I love serious winter weather.

Isn't it a great feeling to learn someone wants your kid?

I love Marquette, my son decided on another school but that was my favorite.

My daughter: CWRU with a hefty scholarship!



Congratulations! Maybe you can use some of the money you are saving on tuition to splurge on some tickets to the 'new' Cleveland Ballet!


The plan is to make a visit to Cleveland filled with lots of culture, high and low.

But more importantly than the anonymous brag, congrats to everyone who put 18 or more years of hard work in and now gets to see their kids dreams come true. Impressive results, and you should be so proud of your kids. And yourselves. Because every successful kid has a parent who has loved and supported them.

And equally huge congrats to kids who are going to less “name brand schools”. Every kid needs something different, and happy successful kids come out NOVA and CNU and JMU and Radford (where our amazing former babysitter was just accepted. She’ll go far in life).

Anyway, putting happy thoughts for you all into the universe— and hoping it helps my DCs when they go through this in 2 & 4 years.


Thank you!
