Always double- and triple-check things! Seth thought he had everything submitted for his college Common App (and for his first choice he was correct) but upon triple-checking he saw that the Florida system said he didn't have his proof of residency form filled out. So at 10 p.m. I was gathering documents to provide the info the state wanted. Luckily I just renewed my driver's license the other day and all of the documents needed were handy.
The nice thing is that most of this process is now electronic, so it was just a matter of filling out the form online and submitting it. The nicer thing is we didn't have a power outage, or a loss of internet ;)
Seth really wants to go to Rice University, and I hope they are smart enough to grab him :) We visited there in spring of 2011 and we all liked it. It's in Houston but the campus is its own world. Seth liked it for their math and science focus. He sat in on a class one day and then walked around on his own. A group of students saw him but didn't know him so they stopped and chatted with him. He was impressed that they knew he wasn't a student there, and that they were so friendly without being overwhelming.
You hate to get your hopes up when anything can happen, but....GO RICE! He should hear back from them in mid-December.
So....anything from Rice? Where else is Seth applying? So excited for him. He's so freaking smart. Any school should be good enough to snatch him and his brain talent up!
ReplyDeleteSigh. He's on the wait-list. He was pretty disappointed, but there's still hope. Of all the early apps they got they accepted 1/4, wait-listed 1/4, and rejected 1/2. Now we wait for April for all the regular deadline app replies.
