She should know all of her results over the next 13 days.

Wellesley- 21st
Barnard- mails them probably next Thursday or Friday
The Ivies all announce on 3/29

Northwestern and American are in there somewhere too.. I want to say around the 25th/26th.

We talked about stress levels tonight. She said it's at the point where she'd rather find out that she didn't get in to most of the schools than to simply NOT know. She's got herself prepared for lots of bad news but the one that will be really tough if she doesn't get in is Barnard. She feels pretty sure she'll get into American. She's really hoping she gets into Barnard. She doesn't think she'll get into Columbia, Brown or Northwestern. She has no idea about Wellesley and is regretting not requesting an "early evaluation", where they send you a "likely", "Possibly" or "Unlikely" response in advance of official decisions. But, two weeks from now we should know where she's going.

Are you going to make any final visits to be sure, after she's received all the decisions? I'm holding spring break open for that purpose, just in case.

That early evaluation deal is a great idea...I wonder how they can manage to do that, along with the regular admissions process. It's probably a quick look at your stats, etc.

I feel your stress! I can't wait for the next 2 weeks be over!

The only ones we might need to visit are Wellesley and American University. She spent a week at Barnard at their Young Women's Leadership Institute last summer so she has a very good feel for that campus and Columbia. She really loved Northwestern and Brown comes in a very close second to her Barnard-Northwestern preference.. very, very close. I don't know how we'll find the time or money to visit either of those that we haven't yet though, quite honestly. Spring break is a cruise to Honduras, Belize and Cozumel with several of her friends and their moms (me too!) Honestly, if Barnard is a yes, it's clear to me where her heart is. She loves the "empowering women" atmosphere there. But, her eyes light up when she talks about Northwestern and Brown too. I think she's assuming she isn't getting into either of those two though.

Hang in there. She'll do great.
