Today Annie was accepted to Roanoke College, a Virginia liberal-arts school with a lovely campus nestled in the Alleghenies. Attagirl! It was just like in the movies - I fished the letter out of the mailbox, and it looked like it might be an acceptance, and I carried it upstairs to where Annie was studying in her room, and she opened it expectantly, and the first word on the letter was "Congratulations." I was not surprised, since her qualifications are very good, but it sure was satisfying.
It's not a lock that Annie will attend Roanoke, however. She plans to apply to about eight schools in all, Roanoke having been the first. With any luck, she will be able to choose among several schools that accept her and find at least one that offers both an ideal curriculum and great financial aid. This will all be unfolding slowly between now and May 1, which is the deadline for committing to a school for the fall of 2010. Wish her luck - and a couple more "Congratulations!"

Nice job Annie! I'm sure she'll get 8 acceptance letters, and she should be proud of each one.
