Hi fellow parents and WELCOME to the new folks!
DD and I have been B.U.S.Y. so I haven't been on the Dis much lately. School ended on May 31, she ended the Maymester dual credit class on June 1st, and started work on June 4th at the full time summer research program. She also is now taking two summer I dual credit classes and trying to get some prep in for the July ACT. She has been so focused and disciplined, and I couldn't be prouder of her! She also got her official lab coat from the medical school for her research program this week, so that was pretty cool. And the first paycheck!
In other news, like most of you, I feel like we are running an all out sprint until all this college stuff is done, schools chosen, and applications in. I had no idea there would be so much to do and think about. I am so grateful to have this community of Dis'ers! I think we all gain so much support and knowledge from each other.
Like all of your Seniors, DD is getting tons of "college courting" mail and emails. Her Top 10 list is constantly evolving as we spend many hours researching different colleges for "fun" in our down time. We have a spread sheet to keep up with important info about each school, which we have found incredibly helpful in keeping information straight. Visits are on hold for DD for now due her program work schedule, but DD has recently gotten invitations to apply to several university fall fly-in programs and she is working on those applications. It would be so amazing if she got accepted to have all expense paid trips to visit some colleges. She immediately reached out to her high school for her transcript. It took a while to get it, and then there were so many errors. OMG!!! I guess the only other college news type thing is that she has pulled the essays from some of the various Applications and started thinking about essays and jotting down notes when she has an a-ha moment or inspiration.
I'm so glad you mentioned that. My DD also received that Notice of Priority with Waiver of application fee in the mail from Tulane yesterday. We had not visited there, so it was a bit of a surprise. But a nice one! Had you demonstrated interest at Tulane? I am curious as to how my DD got on their radar.
Keep on plugging Parents of the Class of 2019! It's going to be an expensive and stressful year!!!!!!

DD received notice of “priority registration” from Tulane. Basically, she can apply for no application fee (no guarantee she’s in) and start working on merit based scholarships.
