Belle's Rush Thread - Page 3

Belle had another great day yesterday! She was invited back to her top 4 choices

At this point, there is one that she is leaning towards, but still liked the other 3 very much. She did have a change of heart toward one that she had kind of dismissed and has decided to include them in her top 3. It's funny how from one day to the next opinions can change based on who you talk to and how the conversation goes!

Today is pref day and she will find out if she has been invited back to her top 3 choices. She is ok with whatever happens though, because she had a really tough time deciding who to drop from yesterday, and would be fine if they ended up as one of her pref houses. I think she would only be sad if her top choice dropped her. All indications are that they think highly of her, but as we all know, until you open the envelope, nothing is a sure thing

It sounds like Rush is off to a really positive start for Belle, and we're all sending positive thoughts her way!

When we drove our daughter to school in 1999, and turned around and drove back home 1,000 miles away the day before rush began, it was a really tough thing, but it worked out and she pledged her first choice.

My "support" would have been seen by my daughter as interference and meddling, so instead I always let HER call me instead of the other way around. It was very very hard but she did it all herself.

Well, things have taken a sad turn - not for Belle, but for her good friend.

I don't know which houses Belle's friend had gone to for 4 party, but when she went to pick up her invites she had been dropped by 2 houses that she loved, and only had 2 invites to pref to houses she did not love and doesn't want to be a part of. So, she has dropped out of rush. Boo!

I haven't heard about Belle's day yet. She has gone on to the pref parties, I just don't know which ones yet. I should hear tonight. I'm hoping it goes well, I know she is going to have a rough evening when she hears what has transpired with her friend

I heard from Belle's mom last night. Belle was invited back to her top 3 choices for pref night. She was very excited, but also upset for her good friend.

From what I heard, Classic Beauty is right, and yesterday was a gloomy day for many at the school.

It's hard to be excited and happy when your dear friend is crushed! I hope Belle can enjoy her day today when she hears which of the 3 she is a new member of

I'll let you know when I hear!!!
