Congratulations to hypo!!! It sounds like it all worked out in the end! Whew! Have a wonderful and relaxing time on your well-deserved cruise.
My daughter received her highly anticipated rejections from Harvard and Georgetown, but she is extremely excited to have committed to her #1 choice: Washington and Lee.
We decided to drive down for a quick trip during spring break, instead of going to Accepted Students Day. The personal attention she received was wonderful. As a bonus, our W&L tour guide was the Panhellenic president. After each guide introduced herself we chose a tour group to join, and my daughter whispered to me, "Panhellenic girl!"
Today, she received a call from the nearby W&L alumni chapter, asking if there is anything they can help her with, or if they could answer questions about professors, etc. My guess is that these Accepted Students days help convince those who are undecided, and also are a chance to show some love to those who have committed.
I think these schools will be a much better fit than Michigan would have been. I'm happy that a couple of wait-listed and desperate-for-Michigan kids will now have a chance to Go Blue! You know there are a lot of those kids in Michigan.
