You better believe it. My kid's private school was very pleased to announce that their graduating class had received millions of dollars in scholarships -- turns out one very academically talented kid had been offered hefty scholarships at all 10 of the places he applied, like MIT, Rice, etc. They also counted the HOPE scholarships for the ones going to in-state schools. . . Same kid got into some well-known schools, but it was presented like, "Acceptances from:" all those schools in the end-of-year school brag-book. :-)

How is everyone feeling this morning? We are excited since we were accepted to our top choice.

Congratulations. We are feeling good. Accepted to 4/5 (and WL at the other, which was not our top choice). Now we have to make a decision....

We are pleased as well. Our oldest was accepted at all three places he applied. We are 99% on our decision, and plan to finalize quickly to let the other schools know and hopefully get their WL moving for anyone still waiting on that.

We got into all our schools as well! I'm shocked. Maybe all those rumors of this being a tough year were simply not true. Congratulations to everyone.

Yes. We did not think we would get a spot a Westminster, so Lovett was pretty much our top choice. But now that we have a spot from both, I'm torn. All good problems to have.

Not sure what happened to my post -- tried to edit and I guess accidentally deleted.

Anyway -- ATLmom1234, we are in the same boat (except with Westminster and Pace). My husband and I both attended W, and it is truly amazing, but we really thought our child wouldn't get in given the huge number of alumni and sibling applicants and also our belief that W usually only takes straight "very superior" JATP applicants. We had already begun envisioning our family at Pace and they have been so welcoming and amazing through the entire application process. As you said, these are good problems to have. I do feel like I am deciding my child's entire future with this decision.
