Daughter Headed to College

[MathMom]

Hello GC Posters,

I made my initial new member post a few weeks ago but I'm following up to say that my daughter, a HS senior, got her acceptance letter to her first choice school and she is thrilled (so are we)!

Her future school has a Greek system that she hopes to be a part of and we've both been reading on GC for a while now. She knows there are no guarantees but her thought was that she studies for tests and practices for sports, why wouldn't she gather as much info as possible on something else she really wants to do?

She's taken all of the discretion information to heart and has already started scrubbing her social media (there wasn't a whole lot to scrub-she's a good kid, even if I am biased, but better safe than sorry) and making things private now.

The rec advice has been great also.

She's started a spreadsheet for all the information that she'll need to have in her rec packets and dates to have them put together for her rec writers in the spring/summer. It's early to work on that but she's excited & she also knows that several of her recommenders will be writing recs for multiple young women and she doesn't want to be scrambling at the last minute to get everything to them timely.

While she prefers that I post instead of her (but keep things vague for now) so much thanks from both of us (no matter how it turns out) for having some really excellent advice available.

Congrats to all the newly college-bound young women & men out there.

MM
