Son of AGDee's College Search Thread

[UWyoKD]

Hello AGDee! And Happy Birthday to Halo!

While I haven't yet posted, I have been following your son's college search here. Just want to wish him (and you) the best during these final nerve-wracking days of waiting. Hang in there! He sounds like an amazing young man with a bright future who will certainly wind up in the place where he will flourish.

Two years ago, we were in your shoes; my daughter is now a sophomore at Northwestern.

And go Eagle Scouts! Congratulations to your son and to you from another Eagle Scout mom (my son earned his Eagle 10 years ago last month). It is an understatement to say that alone is QUITE an achievement - especially when added to your son's other accomplishments!

So keep on taking deep breaths and get some rest when you can! The time of waiting will end soon and Halo can begin actively planning the next great chapter in his life. Good luck to all!

It was definitely easier when I was heads down into my grad work. I also didn't mention that we received Kalamazoo's financial aid package last week. It was OK but not great. It's doable, but includes more loans than expected.

Aww, thank you! Sciencewoman and I were going through it together with our daughters two years ago and neither of them are at Northwestern now. They are both, however, exactly where they are supposed to be! I keep telling myself that, but the nerves are definitely ramping up.
