Spent March-April visiting 10 schools, and in the end she liked a lot of them but didn't love any. DH and I thought Carleton was perfect for her, but she didn't agree. After much hand-wringing, she picked Colby and stayed on waitlists for Williams and Bowdoin, and here we are now. I think she's getting excited about Williams, so I'm happy.
Congrats! Great outcome!

Congratulations! Excited for her, and for my 2030 to have her as a classmate. We have definitely been drinking the purple koolaid.
